exhaust install

i have an apexi cat back exhaust coming in with in the next two weeks. I was wondering if i should just install it on my own or if i would be better off taking it to my mechanic? How much of a hastle would it be to do on my own?

it shouldnt be bad to do it on your own if you have a floor jack. the worst part would be the bolts, soak them in PB blaster starting today, and do it daily so they arent such a bish to remove.

You can also take the car to a muffler shop and have them replace the bolts holding the b-pipe to the cat for around $10-20. That is the easiest route and saves you lots of trouble in the long run

I've gotta ask something that nobody has asked yet.... I've got a Warpspeed Y & B pipe with the custommaxima test pipe and the Magnaflow catback. Now all of my O2 sensors are new, but I still get a CEL for the cats. Does anybody make a MIL eliminator for our cars?

yeah, what exhaust was that? GReddy? That would be a 4-4.5 inch tip if so. I like how that looks

Tip of my Borla is also 4.5" wide..although it's oval so it's about 3.75" high. As you can see it's basically the exact shape/size as the bumper cutout http://public.fotki.com/kennstdumich...rla_rear2.html
