It looks pretty easy. I think Magnaflow has a vid on how to do it and basically you just cut the pipe after the muffler, unbolt the muffler/pipe from the mid pipe and remove the old tailpipes and tips. Then the new exhaust should literally beinstalled using the same hangers and in opposite order of removing the exhaust. When you position the exhaust like you want then tighten it down for good.

Easy. Don`t pay someone. Cut the pipe right after the muffler and it will all come off easy. The install issimple as well. You`ll figure it out. Just put the rear of car on jackstands and you`ll be set.

very easy....get your jack and stands, handtools, and a hacksaw and you'll be fine.....you might need someone to help you position the exhaust when putting it in place but either way its an easy installation.

taking the old one off is the hardest. You will have to cut the pipes to get them off, but other than that installing them is pretty easy. Magnaflow magnapacks is pretty easy its all bolt on and really easy. If you get a bolt on do not weld them at all until they fully set in. You will have to adjust them a few times and if you plan on getting lowering springs then do not weld them.
