If you are just doing mufflers take it to a shop and have them welded in.

if its the bolt on catback kit then do i urself save the money, those kits are idiot proof just read the instructions they arent complicated. If its the mufflers only then go 2 a good muffler shop and have them weld them in.

to get the pipes to over the rear axle you will need someone to lift the backend above both rear tires. Thats the easiest way to get them over.

take it to a shop bro. unless you have a lift. i costed me $5 to have mine welded in. itll cost prolly $15 to have a cat-back put in. they have the equipment like breaker bars and impacts to get them super tight. louder exhaust will tend to vibrate loose after awhile if not super tight.

I cut the old ones off with a sawzall. American thunders dont need to be welded(for gt vert)...Thats just one type of mufflers though.
