1. How long does it REALLY take? The instructions say 1 hour, but I tend not to believe it.
2. How big a pain are the bolts going from the flex pipe to the intermediate pipe? Will I need heat/grinder/impact?
3. Can it be done on ramps, or do I have to get the car up on jackstands?
The difficult part for me was the UNINSTALL. Getting that old bolts off. They had to be grinded off. I would STRONGELY recommend you have a grinder available with a small cutting wheel.
Once the old sh!t was off, the install was done in less than an hour.
I would also strongely recommend you also change the flex pipe to a 2.25" version (which is what I did). My old one had holes in it I discovered and I have noticed gains with this setup.
Ps. I'm a computer geek and not a car geek, and I management this one ok.
