You just need the kit, and you can make a cutout from a template, I think there is one on their website. I bought my kit from v6mustangstuff.com. You might want to check out the new frpp dual exhaust too, I have heard good things about it.

You can probably do it yourself at home without too much difficulty, but if you take it in to Midas or one of those kinds of places, install might run you anywhere between $100-200, could be more if you get a mechanic who's a moron and doesn't know what he's doing with it though.

depends on your shop where you take it but lately they have been pretty high..... OR you could just do it yourself with a wrench I plan on doing mine by myself when I get them in

The thing is though, most of those places don't know what they're talking about when it comes to putting duals on a V6.

The only reason to ever take it to one of those places is if you're getting them to custom-bend you the over-axle pipes to save yourself some money.

If you're buying a complete kit online, everything is already done, you just have to take the old one off and bolt the new one on.

I was gonna take mine in (I bought a kit so everything is already done) and have someone put it on, but when it comes to putting duals on my V6, the auto-shop and I have the exact same amount of experience: 0.

I figure if I do it at home I can at least take all day if I need to, whereas the crappy discount exhaust shop will want to rush through it as fast as possible to get it over with. Plus, if you have any issues with it at home, you can come onto these forums and get help for whatever the problem is.

Definitely a better idea to just try it yourself, spend some time playing around with your car, and save $200. And if you simply can't get it figured out while you're putting everything on, you can always take it to the exhaust place and have them fix it up anyway.
