Default I have...
I installed the Milltek on my S4. Make sure you get the car up high enough; I backed it up on ramps and put the front up on jackstands. Take your time and get a friend to help (I did mine alone though). Make sure all the joints are seated all the way as you tighten the clamps. I had previously installed a Supersprint on my M3, so I already had some practice. 8^)

Yep. Done a few Borlas. Not bad at all. Used ramps under rear wheels.

Default MTM - no problem, Borla/Neuspeed - even easier.
The only problem you may have is getting the Y-Pipe installed completely so there is no leaking. I used a 2x4 on the end of the pipe and a mallet to hit the Y-Pipe into place.

Default I did something similar.
Planks added for extra height, since my car is lowered.
