Default Long tubes Install

Is it hard to install...or should I shell out the dough for a shop to put em on for me??? You think theyd charge extra to install my midpipe with it also?

If you have $500-$800 that you just cant stand to hold on to anymore then pay someone to do it. If not its not that hard you can do it with simple tools.

im planning on putting longtubes on mine as well. What ive heard is best is to drop the kmember support the motor by jacks, pull off the wheels and you can get to them through the wheel well. Someone correct me if im wrong but that sounds like what ive been told.

It's not so much difficult as it is time consuming and a pain in the ***. If you have a case of beer and use a lot of cuss words, you should be able to do it though.

If you're not too mechanically inclined or are just itching to spend that money like said above, I doubt the shop would charge more to install the midpipe. I mean, once the headers are in, the midpipe should take all of 2 minutes. Less if they have air ratchets.
