Default Catback install, any suggestions?

I'm installing the Borla Stinger CB on my 03 tomarrow. It looks pretty simple, but does anyone have any suggestions from experience before I get started? I know I've done a job before and wish I would have known things before I got started. Thanks

if your mid pipes have a bend in them make sure you have them facing the right direction, otherwise the tips will touch the black plasti guard in the back and you'll have to take it off and start over. make sure you put the longer mid pipe on the right side since the stock h pipe is shorter on that side, and if you are doing the job laying on your back with the car on afloor jack and not on an over head left, it helped me out the have an extra sissor jack under the car with me to help support the weight of the mufflers while i was wrenching. thats all i can think of for now.

Thanks for the help. Didn't have a scissor jack, but some books worked ok. Wasn't as hard as anticipated. Lithium grease really helped with the rubber hangars.

Sounds bad ***!!! I thought it would sound raspy, but sounds like a 70's muscle car. A little poping, but nothing compared to an SLP loudmouth. Did it in about an hour with minimal tool throwing and cursing. I will definitly need cats when I replace the h-pipe.
