It's a pretty easy install, you'll get it right.

the only problem i had was tryin to get to disconnect the front o2 sensor on the passenger side. If you remove the battery and battery tray its real easy to reach. I disconnected all the o2s, took the stock h out, pulled the o2's and swapped them to the pypes. Other than that, its pretty easy...the driver side is easier to get undone (on the stock h), but the passenger has one bolt thats pretty tough. I'd take the battery and battery tray out, as it you can get to the front o2 easy, and it also helps getting the bolts on the passenger side manifold undone.

Disconnect the o2 sensors from the harness. The passengers side is easy to reach if you remove the battery tray and the two rear o2's you can disconnect while under the car. Spray some kind of penetrating spray on the nuts before trying to break them loose, especially the ones connecting the h-pipe to the exhaust manifolds.. WD40 or pb blast works well.

Ya sorry i didnt post last night, i went to the track immediately after, first off, give your car a good 45 minutes to cool down, the cats are effing hott! secondly,i would highly recommend a 7/8 inch wrench, helped alot with the 02 sensors, fairly easy install, disconnect 2 nuts from two clamps4 total nutsnearest transmission after H pipe, then disconnect the 02 sensors, then install them on your new pypes, when you take off the stock H, should slide right out with some force, when u put your o/r pype in your gonna want to have some 1 push the H together by holding the pypesinward where the hangers are assembled, with another guy at the H section they should join right up nice and tight, then make sure to clamp the H section down and before connecting to your midpipes, connect pypes to your header flange. need 15 mm deep socket, 7/8 in wrench, swiveling 15mm deep socket, oh ya be prepared for sum LOUD LOUD! um wow, ya it pops like crazy, hope it breaks in soooooooooon
