Back the car up on ramps. Spray bolts with PB Blaster. Open beer. Drink beer. Undo bolts and remove old exhaust. Open another beer. Drink beer. Put on new exhaust. Open beer. Crank up the car and smile.

Might be easier with the rear sway bar loose at the end links, as well as loosen the clamps at the axle back to the xpipe, and then loosen the xpipe to converter bolts as you may not have enough room to pull the mufflers far enough back.

Should be an easy install, mine were. The sound will gradually improve over the first 600 or so miles if you like them loud and deep!
