Cost me $85. I'd have done it myself but I bought the catback used and the pipes were cut over the axles and had to be welded.

DO IT YOURSELF. The hardest part is getting the angle right so the back pipe falls over the axle.

+1
Clearing the rear swaybar is the other time consuming part.
It boils down to:

1. Getting the angle correct so it doesn't hit the axle.
2. Getting the same angle correct so it doesn't hit the swaybar.
3. Getting the same angle correct so your tips are centered.

.......all at the same time.

I got lucky on the passenger side, but spent some time fiddling on the drivers side.

I wouldn't even consider doing it though if you don't have a Sawzall or cutoff wheel.
Unless ya got real strong arms, hacksawing off the old system takes a long time and is tiring.
You can always drop the axle a little though and remove the stock system without cutting.
If you're are stuck with only a hacksaw, that is the way I would do it.

Good luck, DIY and know you did a professional job because it's your car and nobody cares about your car like you.
