Default Need exhaust installation help

I just picked up a GT takeoff exhaust, and I would like to install it tonight or tomorrow, but I need to know how difficult it will be and if anyone has any helpful tips. Please speak in simple english not fancy shop talk please. LOL I am learning.

Installing the GT muffler is easy I did it in 30 minutes. It will really help if you can get the *** end of the car up. Then just loosen the clamps on the stock one, unbolt the hangers and work the GT one on the pipe, tighten the clamp then, install the hanger. You'll use 1 less hanger on the GT.
You'll love it it sounds great for the price. Phil

Thank you Phil. I can't wait to hear it, I am going to go buy some ramps, don't like the whole jack thing.

Get under and check clearances around the exhaust pipes.

found the problem. nothing exhaust related. I painted the calipers at the same time i did the exhaust and left a piece of mechanics wire dangling in the wheel well.
