Default Honestly.. how hard is downpipe installation?

Could I do it myself, if I had the time? If I didn't finish in a day I could just drive my wife's car to work...she can walk. =P (or I could drop her off at work, I guess)

Default It's really just simple nuts and bolts work. Nothing too complicated. Just time consuming if you

haven't done it before.

hmmm... we've done so many exhausts on other cars. I may have to think about trying it.

Default You'll need a lot of tools. A standard wrench set and socket set won't be enough. You need several

extensions for some of the bolts. Sometimes things seem impossible, but you somehow figure it out with a different angle, etc. If you don't have a lift, it will take longer because it limits your angles somewhat.

It's not hard, just frustrating work, but worth it in the end.

Default YGM - I sent you the instructions from the tech section with all the necessary corrections. I

don't have pictures but I cleaned up and made all the corrections to make it more clear.

Default I didn't write the original but I'd be more than happy to clean-up my changes document and submit it

to the tech section. To whom would I send the changes?
