Default So, how hard is it to remove the stock exhaust?

I've got a little install this weekend I'd like to do, but I'm trying to make sure I'm not getting in over my head.

Sorry for the on-topic, rehashed, subject matter ;-)

Default very easy with the right tools...

Put the passenger side up on jackstands (front and rear). Loosen the forward attachment first...you'll probably need a big breaker bar to do it. Then unbolt the hanger brackets...don't try to slip the rubber donuts off the hangers until you have the system removed, it's almost impossible. Each of the hanger brackets is held in place with 2 bolts, which are easy to remove. That's it! It's somewhat heavy, so don't drop it on your toe.
