seriously, i'd try to do it on my own...and save the money

its not a hard job, just unbolt the old one, and bolt on the new one.
the only bad part is taking off the bolts, but once that's done, its a snap
use liquid wrench or something in advance, and if you have an impact gun, or blow torch, use that to get the bolts off quickly.

If you decide to go on your own,Having a friend to help might be a good idea..But try going to a local shop might be cheaper,or try Midas.It runs for about $60.00-$80.00

I had mine installed for $55, including some custom welding.

Mine was the first one the shop had ever done. After it was all over, they told me that, if anyone asked, installation would be $70 in the future.

This was at an exhaust shop.

I tried to do it by myself but I cannot get the bolts off of from the cat. They are impossible I tried liquid wrench and no luck. And I have no idea what to do with a torch. It seems easy but the fu***** bolts wont come off.

When I did my install, my bolts would not go either-
So out came the dremel, and cut the bolts and hit the hardware store for 2.20 for replacements.

A lot less than 70 + for an install elsewhere.

I paid about 100$ at a local exhaust shop, they obviously had some problems getting the bolts off my cat, even with a torch they wouldnt budge. Eventually they just cut em off, I kinda got screwed because of the extra time it took em on their first attempt.
