15 hours holy crap.......this guy is definitely never going LTs now for sure. Plus....with LT's you have to get a O/R mid-pipe don't you? Pretty sure I need my cats here in NC.

Yea theres a lot of guys that like to think you can do them that quickly, you cant. Maybe 6 hours if you have a few guys doing it that have done it a few times but other then that theres no chance in hell. 8-10 hours is more realistic.

seriously ive seen it with 5 guys working on a car, people who KNOW what they are doing. they had the longtubes on the car and he had an aftermarket k swaped in after about 6 hours of work and they had to call it quits for the night because it was late. you are taking alot of stuff off the car, it'll be something different that snags you every time.
