I bought a used flowmaster 2.5" system from a local friend.

I put the car rear up on rhinoramps. I got the stock 03 exhaust off alright (hangers were a bitch.)

When time came to put the flowmaster passenger side on I was flabberghasted.
It completely owned me. I got the rearest rubber hanger on then I could line up the pipe to bolt on the free floating bolt plate would not mate up to the holes of the bolts.

I labored with my arms hurting from being so cramped for 1.5 hours and I gave up, took it out.

Now the car sounds like a loud ass fart but not too bad sounding w/o any muffler system haha.

I'll have to wait a few days unless a shop is open sunday to get the catback on..

This won't hurt anything running w/o mufflers will it?

No it won't hurt, but I can't imagine why it would be hard to install, these IRS exhausts take like 20 minutes to swap out
