Default off road h-pipe install difficult?

I was thinking about ordering the Pypes off road H pipe from Breenspeed.com, but I wanted to make sure I'd be able to install it myself. Is it bolt on, just like the axle-backs? Is it as simple as unbolting the stock one and bolting on the new one?

were you able to drive it up onto ramps? It's kind of low, I though maybe the bumber, lower facia would hit the ramp on it's way up

You can use jack stands also. Just be careful to set the stands correctly. Don't want to get squished!

Just ordered mine. I'm betting easy install, if not pay a muffler shop $50

You got to be careful. A muffler shop cannot legally remove cat. converters.

Yeah - you'll be lucky to find a muffle shop today that will touch that project! It should be a VERY easy install. The hardest part will getting the nuts/bolts to break loose up where the main pipe meets the headers. Hopefully you have access to an air compressor and impact wrench for that - unless you car is still new enough to not require it.

Buy the MIL Eliminators from Brenspeed while your at it and the CEL won't be an issue.

You might want to ask one of the mechanics(in private) in a an exhaust shop you are familiar with. They usually know of someone in the business who will do it for you. Unfortunately that means no receipt and no warranty on the work.
