Its very easy................the stock muffler needs a little elbow grease to get off but after that.....no problem.....with the MRT theres more room to work with because of the shape. Took me like 20 minutes......to install my MRT

RE: exhaust installation today..
Should be pretty easy; I got my Magnaflow installed in about an hour.
Some things I would suggest if you don't have them already, or if they are not included with your muffler package:
* Locktite for the bolts
* A U-clamp is better than a circular clamp
* If the MRT doesn't have 3 hangars (the Magnaflow came with 2), you might need to buy some flexible metal and bolt it to the 3rd hangar assembly.
Sorry if I didn't get the terminology right :-p

Loosen up your exhaust hangers by unbolting them.. it should give it a little more give so you'll have more room to maneauver it out. When installing the MRT one it's very easy to just slip it in.

RE: exhaust installation today..
put ur damn strength into it and push it on there...u gotta twist it on so that it is all the way on! Shine a flashlight and make sure that that slit in the muffler fitment is filled with the midpipe. Also, you only use two of the hangers...the one towards the mid-pipe and the one towards the rear of the car....they look pretty identical. Have fun.
