warpspeed y pipe with the g-reddy cat-bak how should i install them

ok im getting the warpspeed y pipe and the g-reddy cat-bak. now im wondering how should i go about installing them. Should i take them to a muffler shop and get everything done in one shot. Or should i install the y pipe myself and go get my cat-bak done at a shop. Or should i do everything myself then go to a muffler shop and get my muffler welded on.

do it all yourself. It is a full bolt on deal...no welding involved with the muffler.

Just coat all the nuts and bolts with a pb blaster or something the night before you do anything.

What are you talking about getting the muffler welded on?

Do you have a fake GReddy or something?

It's not for preventing rust dude, it's for freeing up the rusted bolts because they are tight as hell and rusted on.

pb blaster works better than WD-40; Liquid Wrench also works well (I got some of that from Home Depot)

well i would put aside 3 or 4 hours to do it because some of those bolts arnt going to come off very easy and if you dont have an impact wrech you my want to rent or borrow one so if you make less than 25$ and hour its worth your time to do it yourself but expect to run into a few problems especialy if your exhaust has never been taken off since new

do it yourself! its only about 10 bolts and mine werent even on that bad. nothing the breaker bar couldnt fix. Also all the bolts are straight forward, no wierd angles, nothing. just drive up on some ramps or use jack stands, its very easy.
