It is not hard to change the exhaust if you have the means to get the rear of the car high enough to remove the stock cat back. If you don't then your other option is to cut the stock setup to remove it. Putting the GHLs on will not require you to raise the rear as high and should not be an issue.

Perhaps the hardest part is loosing the bolts on the H Pipe without breaking them. The other is you need to drop your sway bar in order to get the over axle pipe installed.

Its easy to install the GHL's. (jacks + stands only needed)
Its hard to remove the stock exhaust in your garage without a lift.

Hmm thats odd my bolts came out like the car had never been run before although it had about 97k on it when I took them off. Now my lowering bolts thats a different story....

Can't answer your question, but I couldn't resist chiming in that the GHL Bullets are imho the absolute best sounding exhaust system available for the C5. Before this turns into an exhaust preference war, I want to reiterate that it's just my opinion. You'll love your GHL exhaust when you get it installed
