Not hard at all. If you dont have air tools it is just time consuming.

It Involves Taking off 2 bolts on Each Pipe, 2+2+2+2=8 Bolts i think. Like he said, with out Air tools its just goanna be a pain, but Very Easy they make them 2 Bolt up.

its pretty straight forward, the bolt next the the headers are the hardest to get off. the drivers side is not bad, but the passengers side header bolt is tricky. you need to get a long extention and if you have a socket that swivels it will be a little easier. and if you can use a lift, its 100% easier with a lift. good luck

Dont forget that you have to take the O2 sensors off too. They shouldnt be too bad but I had to use a torch to heat mine up a bit to get them off. Good luck, the whole job isnt TOO bad at all.

like everyone said, it's pretty straight forward. the hardest part would be getting at the pass. side bolts off,but for me, unclipping the damn o2 sensor harnesses seemed like the worst [:@]
