Jackstands or lift?

Lift = piece of cake.

You will have a CEL come on but your tuner will take care of it once you get it. Looking forward to it Brett, take care.

Air tools make it really easy. Other then that you may need to take the battery/box off to get at the o2 sensor connect on the passenger side.

Can't comment on a prochamber, but I installed my pypes o/r h myself. I drove my front up on 2 x 4s in the garage. And just slipped under. A real tight fit, and hurt back, but I got the job done. TacoBill has a real good writeup on his h install. It's a good tool to follow. I also took the battery box out to reach the 02 sensor. It's a real tight fit and reach to get into the factory manifold bolts. For sure, you need penetrating spray ready. Deep socket, long extension, and a swivel to reach. Install will be a lot easier if you have another available to help with lining things up. A little more room with the stands would also be good.

you definitely need deep sockets. I believe a 13mm and 15mm. Also I get a slight rattle, I think its from the prochamber hitting the frame. I'm not 100% sure where it's coming from, i tried to find it a few times with no luck. I would remove the battery like everyone else did, it makes it A LOT easier to access the passenger side front O2 sensor.
