Default Exhaust install question...

Given everything goes well, how long would it take two people to install a new bolt-on cat-back exhaust system on a stock A4 Quattro (on a lift)? One person has a lot of experience, the other would just be an extra set of hands.

Less than that if the inexperienced person doesn't help.

Default Very true...

Less than an hour could mean 10 mins though.

Default depends on the condition of the car bolts...those can take a while...everything else

can be done by a trained monkey. Definitely less than an hour is possible.

Default It depends on if the Cat Bolts are seized.

They usually are. My car was 1 year old, and seized. This adds about 1 extra hour, and 2 layers of skin off your knuckles to the 1-hour job. It also depends on how precise your exhaust kit is, and if it aligns up well.
