Default Installing my o/r H pipe

I finally got around to ordering my MAC o/r H pipe and I have question concerning the install. Online, it says that my H pipe will be a "3-piece pipe for easier install". Will all of this simply bolt together, or will I have to get it welded? I know that on each end of the pipe it bolts up. I really dont wanna take it to a shop because I'm pretty low on money. I know that many people on here have installed their midpipes themselves. I just wanted to know if I will be able to install this pipe easily in my driveway, or if it is going to turn into a project. Thanks guys!!

Hardest part is getting the stock midpipe out.

Other than that the new o/r pipe bolts up. Yes you can do it in your driveway. Probably 2 or 3 hours for a first timer, thats what Ive heard.. never actually done one myself yet.

well i know on my 97 gt it was probably the most difficult thing ever. i had to remove my starter and it was a huge pain, plus my bolts were so rusted. i hope yours works out better
