Default installing a catback DIY

how much of a challenge is it to install a catback on a fox in my driveway?
would it be easy to install/ adjust or should I install it and take it to the shop for adjustment or just have the shop do it...

preferrably I would want to do it myself as working on the car is my form of stress relief

I found that CJ pony parts has the SLP Loudmouth catback for 470 bucks (cheaper than what Ive seen in summit, and I live ~2 hours away so I can make a road trip and pick them up).. without dealing with oversize shipping/damage

gonna pick it up around/ shortly after tax return time when I have some money for mods...

the side pipes are gonna be saved for the t-top as the mufflers are in nice shape, so I'll use them for dumps

The hardest part will be the removal. Hacksaw or a sawzall would do the trick nicely. The SLP installation is a breeze!!! It's amazing how well that system is built.

thanks guys.


wont be doing if for a few months or so, gonna pick the system up around refund time, should be getting a decent amount back... as decent as it can be for working part time most of the year when I have classes n stuff... if I had the $470 now, id be out in the snow swapping the pipes out... lol
