Just install it and that is all you have to do. But I warn you the exhaust mod is usually where it all begins. Then it is headers, heads & cam, etc.

They will need to drop the sway-bar to get the stock exhaust out without cutting it - undo the nuts & bolts that attach to the frame and it will just pivot out of the way. Make sure they retorque to specs when re-installing the sway-bar - 49 lb/ft for the bolts, & 70 lb/ft for the nuts.

Cat backs are great, they bring the engine noise alive with out having to do anything else....Although, they do make you want to mod something else!
