The best thing to do is crawl under and look. There's one bolt in the clamp and 3 hangers. I didn't jack my car up either. Took about 30 minutes.

It's easy, I've never done anything car related like that. Unbolt, pop off. It's a nice difference. Especially the sound.

Alot like the one you have now only lighter and it doesn't have the crazy damper thing on it.

There are better deals out there but here is how they look.

Changing out the stock exhaust for a GT take off its an easy task, just have to undo 1 bolt clamping the muffler onto the exhaust pipe, then pull the hangers out of the rubber holders pop it off good to go, as others have said this can be done with out a jack there shoudl be enough room fo ryou to comfortable reach everything and manuver the new exhaust into place.
