DIY question. How EZ is it to install Forge CB exhaust & N.Speed sway bar?
Time it would to take to install each individually? Ramps be OK? Any special tools? Any insight would be MUCH appreciated. TIA

Very easy figure 1-1.2 hour for each, and ramps are cool
The exhaust:
When removing make sure to support the cats. You'll need a T-7(?) torx bit for the center most hanger. Also make sure you have exhaust paste and lots of WD-40. Also you'll need channel locks to help push the hangers on points.
The swaybar:
do while the exhaust is off. You'll need an an allen key I think 5mm and lots of open ended wrenches 2 each in 13mm and 17mm I believe. WD40 will be your friend and the instruction sux so feel free to ask questions. ALSO DON'T get the grease on your hands it'll never come off and it'll seem as though you masterbate elephants for a living.

Speaking as someone who *********** elephants for a living, i take offense at that!
:P
seriously though, a friend and I did the sway in like 30 minutes. The instructions *do* suck, but that's just cause they have no pics. Toughest part is wrangling the old sway out, and the new one in (which is why you want to do it with the stock exhaust out of the way since you'll have the chance).
Also, USE the reinforcing brackets that come with it. People have cracked the sub-frame with the 22mm, so it's always best to be safe. (Plus, it'll be a bit stiffer!)

Yeah... I found it good to seal up pin hole leaks on my MTM
so I'm sure it'll come in handy for the Miltek as well. When are you gonna install it?? If I'm around I'll email you my number and you could feel free to give me a ring, should you get jammed up. Me and Zaph have, ok Zaph has written, my spelling sux, a good set of instructions I'll see if I can email to you..
