test pipe install... how long does it take approx?
i checked out the DIY install on audizine and some other places and none of them post up how long it takes... do you think it'll take more than 2 hours? i'm not completely newb at doing stuff on cars but still fairly new at it all. thanks in advanced

hopefully not get caught lol... i don't think they're that strict here in PA... my APR guy said he's done it and i asked about the whole emissions testing and what not but he said they usually don't go into checking out the car unless a CEL comes on warning about the cat... i'm assuming i'll be alright

i didn't have a lift so it took me about 2 hours...you need to bring down the whole front exhaust to access bolts (mid way up) after that it's pretty each just screw in nuts that you unscrewed.

yeah my friend is going to give me a hand but we don't have a lift... we only have jack stands so i'm hoping they give me enough clearance to pull the test pipe/down pipe out... i hear thats the hardest part of it is actually getting clearance to pull it out...

it realyl wasn't that bad...if you have a 6spd then i heard it's much easier than TIP. Botton bolt on the stock pipe is the worst..have to get it from bottom. GL, let me know if you need any suggestions, i did it twice now.

Manual is easier than tip, a lot easier.
Manual takes us about 40 mins. Tip takes just over an hour and a lot of cursing.
You can do a manual with the car warm. You can't do a tip unless the motor is ice cold.

awesome... i have a manual. from my understanding its just simply unbolting and rebolting right? hopefully it only takes me about an hour or two tops. i'm just getting into the whole car tuning thing but i've got a good sense of what i'm doing when i have the right instructions
