Cannot install it yourself, Universal means it will fit almost any car with that inlet size. And also it does not have any hangers, when you get it installed, they will most likely have to weld the stock pipe into the new inlet (sometimes, like on my car, they bent a very short pipe and connected that to the stock pipe and then to the new muffler), and also they will have to weld on hangers in place.

Now depending on the area and who does it, this can range anywheres from $25 all the way upto $150. Now anything more than $50 is a ripoff.

Definatly cannot install it yourself...I got a universal muffler for my car last year and it ended up being too much work. so i just sent it back to the retailer.. if you can find a muffler made for your exact car it is a lot easier and you can install it quickly at your house.. thats what i'm looking for at least
