Default H-pipe question?

Anybody know of a good place in Houston to put on a h-pipe? Ive called a few places but either they won't touch it because it doesn't have cats on it, or they want to charge more than $150. Exactly how hard would it be for me to get out in the driveway and put it on myself? BTW it's a MAC h-pipe if that has any effect on how hard it's gonna be to put on. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

It's easy just four bolts attach it to the headers and four attach to the mufflers. Unbolt all eight and unhook the o2 sensors and it will come out.

i would say do it yourself, but it can be quite the mess if your bolts are as stubborn as mine

Expect a leak at your driver side manifold with the MAC H-pipe. I installed mine and later found out that the stock studs need to be replaced with ones from NAPA in order to stop the leak.
