not long really, pretty easy, just make sure your lock tight dries before you take off in it so the bolts dont back out

I've never done it.... I've watched it trying to learn and got bored with it after I pumped the fluid out for like a half n' hour.

Ehhhhh. I wouldn't knock the man. Alot of us "back yard mechanics" learned from watching and doing things for the first time. Some with the Books, and other just going ahead and doing it. Of course it all comes at a risk. I remeber my first time attempting to put in a mid pipe...... I got soo pissed off at the stock headers because I just couldn't get my hand to squeeze into getting the passenger side bolts out. So I ended up cutting about 6 inches off the stock midpipe from the headers, and I welded the Off Road H-Pipe to the rest. A few weeks later a friend of mine help me swap it out the right way.
