well if you look at some of the threads down below you will see that they are not really that hard. Being the most pullin of the starter and lifting the engine a few inches. Other then that they are all worth the product afterwards. I have the Long Tube Mac, Off Road H-Pipe and Flows and the sound and power is mind blowing. You will love it.

it took me about 20 sec or less once i found the right racket and socket. Just Pull the tensioner up and follow the map under the hood of how the belt should go. Prob one of the easiest things you can do on a mustang.
