Yeah I can go to a shop and get it done for 50$.
Or I can do it myself and go out for a really nice dinner.
IIRC the MBRP is designed to be a bolt on system - make sure you have all the gaskets and all the hangars before you cut off the old system - a power sawz-all will be your friend with that. And if the new system doesn't include the hangars make sure you know the condition of the existing ones before you start.
The MBRP has a really nice tip, so cutting a sedan system to a ZX5 length is somewhat more involved than simply cutting it shorter - and you will definitely not want to leave it long. It will look like ass and you and your passengers will be constantly hitting your legs on it.
Check out the condition of your exhaust tunnel heat shield too - this would be the time to do repairs on it as it is so much easier without an exhaust there.
Good luck.
