its very simple, just MAKE SURE you have a recip saw (sawz all). I did mine with a hacksaw that was pretty dull and that took me about 30 min each pipe alone to cut off. It is a very simple project to do. Check out This Page . It is for a MAC cat-back, but its the same for them all and it will guide you through step-by-step if you run into any problems.

Renting a Shop space sounds like overkill (couple of tall jackstands and a floor jack will give you more than enough clearance). Unless the shop is also providing tools!

Borla cat backs have got to be the easiest catbacks to install. The most difficult part is getting the old out. Defenitly worth trying yourself.
