If i remember correctly, there was one bolt above the passenger side can that was an absolute b*tch... if you've got small hands it'll be easier.. also ratcheting box wrench should facilitate aforementioned bolt.

yeah there's 1 or 2 bolts that aren't too easy to get to, but overall it's pretty easy.

i put my stock muffs back on to see how it sounded with the o/r h-pipe but it was too quiet so i bolted the Flows back on. Didn't take long at all.

beats the mess outta welding them over and over again like i'm used to doing with other cars

its easy but with putting my flows on the damn hangers go in opposite direction so i had to do more work.
Why you need to put stock muffler back on?

The 2 bolts that are hard to get to can be reached with a 13mm (i belive) rachet wrench.
