installing exhaust
i saw it on here somewhere but cant find it again. how easy or hard is it to remove the stock exhaust? i know that install is a piece of cake as the new exhaust is segmented, but i heard that removing the OE was tricky. can anybody here thats done it before shed any light on this.

The only tricky part is getting the car high enough in the air to get the stock exhaust out without cutting it. If that is not a concern, just put it up on jack stands and cut away. To take the stock exhaust out without cutting, you will need about 30-36" of ground clearance.

Also it makes things alot easier if you unbolt the sway bar and swing it down out of the way so you can pull the pipes over the axle after unbolting them.
