The hardest part when installing is removing the stock exhasut from the rubber hangers. It took me forever to get them out, but after awhile, some wd40, and about 30 cuss words it came off!Its easy my buddy and I put mine on in 2 hours, and we took our sweet time.

Removing the stock exhaust from the rubber hangers was defenately the hardest part. Not saying that doing the exhaust is hard or anything.My buddy and I took some WD-40 and used small screw drivers to get in there and prythe old oneout. Then when it was time to remove the old exhaust... we said f*** this and just cut the old tubes out instead of trying to fiddle with it to get it out from around the axle.. Its really not that hard man..

As long as you have air tools, the hardest part of the whole thing is probably getting the pipes over the axle. The angles involved suck. But it's cake with a good jack and some jack stands.
Thats why I just said screw it and cut the pipes. They arn't worth anything and you will never use them again anyway.

cut the stock exhaust off and just bolt up the new one...hand tools, jack, and 3 inch grinder(to cut). just you have to jack up the car without compressing the rear suspention to get the exhaust over the rear axle...make sure you line up the tips too so it doesnt look dumb

INSTALL COMPLETED.
1 - Man
2.5 Hours
2 pipes cut
1 hanger cut (not necessary)
PB Penetrator Spray is possibly one of the best modern inventions out there

LM2's will make your stock stang sound like a beast. But they're still deep and quiet at idle.
