None at all, the system will bolt right up.

The Ti exhaust is a direct bolt on - just take the old car back off and slap the Ti on.

You have to get the back end up really high (like 32 inches). It is way safer to do it/ have it done on a lift.

I had to remove sway bar. One other note - it it's an auto, be careful of the plug on top of the trans on the left side. It's easy for the flange to hit it if you're not paying attention.

You'll want to get a new pair of gaskets.

You'll also want to be careful when removing the muffler hanger bolts so the captured nuts inside the frame don't get knocked out of alignment. If they do, there's no easy way to get them aligned again. There is a hole in the back of the frame, but it's inaccessible without taking the rear bumper cover off the car.

When I did mine, the driver's side was a piece of cake, but the passenger side needed some finagling to get it over the axle and past the transaxle.

Watch this video. It covers most of the steps.

...I could have done it by struggling with it by laying on the ground but for a small fee I had it done

I tried to put Ti's onto my '04 in my garage; after 30 minutes of trying, gave-up as I just could not get the rear end high enough to have the required space to maneuver the old OEMs out and the Ti's in. $35 at a shop to have them installed.
