It should be a fairly straightforward install. Disconnect your flexpipe from your catback( well flexback I guess) and work you8r way forward from there. I had a problem getting the flexpipe and cat bolts loose. I snapped one off, and the other wouldn't budge, even with a BIG leverage bar. So I cut the nut off and drilled out the hole, which took a while. That was one of the biggest problems. No other tips that I can think of right now....I'll get back to you later if I think of any more.:cool:

No lift or pit needed to install a flex pipe and orp.  I put in a race header and flex pipe just using a set of ramps.  The bolts on my car were rusted bad so I went to the local muffler shop and gave them $20 to loosen all of the bolts I would have to take off, I made the job so easy.

That is fine, but it takes a little longer to cut them off and drill them out than you think.

I would try to keep the stock bolts in tact if possible.  You might need them if you want to put them back on.
