Default piece of cake
no really. id rather be eating cake...

DIY. also, use common sense, cause APR's instructions suck (at least 2 and half years ago they did)

Default It's not that bad. It was the first "mod" I did when I got the car. Took about 3 hours only because
a hex screw got mangled so it took me a while until I got it out.

Default PIA tight fit and you can screw it up if not careful/experienced
Be sure to lube the o-rings and inside of the Bi-Pipes' mating surface with a dab of motor oil before installing. Otherwise you'll damage the o-rings and it will either leak of leave bits of oring rubber dangling in the TB.

make sure the engine is cool when you do it, it's easy to strip the bolts going into the manifold.

Default I don't know about some of these opinions but it takes me 30 min at most to pull off and put on.
With the front bumper on. Just did it a few months ago when I changed my PS pump. It really is not hard if you take your time and don't drop anything.

The first time it took me 1 hr because I dropped some bolts down by the Int. Mani.

Default Not hard, I did it myself, and I've never done any DIYs before.
A bit frustrating, but it's not a situation where you stand a chance of really breaking your car.
