I also forgot to ask if I can do this without any cutting?

I am very interested in this as well will be doing corsa install soon on an automatic 05 do I need to cut it on that. To the OP I dont think you have to cut on a manual but on an automatic the instructions say you are supposed to.

Check out this video. It helped me a lot when I did mine. http://www.ecklers.com/product.asp?d...6768&video=yes It gets a little tight under there if your doing it on jack stands and getting the over-axle pipes into the H-pipe was a real PIA ! Good luck.
