I finally ordered an exhaust, I went with
the Greddy Evolution, and I'm psyched.
As far as I know, it's a bolt on, which
supposedly should be quite easy to install,
but if anyone has anything to add about
the install, please post it. The one
thing that is worrying me is the rear
vallence of the Stillen kit, I don't want
to ruin it. I guess the best thing I can
do is make sure there is enough space between
the exhaust and the kit. I hope the hangers
provide me with enough slack to give it space.

Just have a can of liquid wrench handy because the bolts that hold the cat to the catback are usually a PITA to get off...

the hangers should give you more than enough slack for the body kit...

How did you install it?
Did you use a jack and 2 jack stands?
Or did you have a lift?
How was it?
The day is soon approaching
and I cant wait.
