How hard is it to self install a o/r x-pipe, specifically the Pypes one? I am thinking about doing it myself when I install my C&L CAI that i just got but I am not sure how hard either is to install for someone with NO mechanical inclinations haha.

Taco bill. At the top of the forum, you will see it.

WAIT THOUGH....... I know mine and a few others off road X pipe fit like crap. I know mine did. I never see complaints about the H pipe though.

The main thing is make sure the car is properlyLIFTED, and secure. If the car falls on you it won't turn out right. You will need some extensions for the bolts that attach the x-pipe to the header, and some penetrating oil like wd-40 for these bolts as well.

As long as you have the car safely on jack stands, and/or ramps, and if you haven't done things under a car before, get some help and assistance from someone who has done it before.

It really isn't too tough. Just be safe first.

my X is a different brand but it fit awesome

Caution

install of an X is very simple and can be done in roughly an hour and half

I have never done any work under my car but I can go down to pearl harbor to the auto body shop and get some help i belive, not sure if they will turn a blind eye to the lack of cats though haha, heres hoping

Caution

depends on the shop .. some shops here won't touch your car if you dont have cats... owell ...
