Did a search but couldn't find any......anybody have a how-to write up for swapping out the midpipe? On a scale of 1-10, how difficult is it to pull this off by myself? I'm pretty car savvy so it seems easy enough, but is there anything I should know before I dive in? Thanks :thumbsup:

Do a search for the part number below, that should bring up some threads that will help.
Edit: I used that stud kit and had several extensions and swivels and everything went smoothly, just soak the bolts with wd-40 or PB Blaster for a while first.

Quote I had saved in my info folder:
One thing I noticed is that the driver side where it bolts to the spherical joint on the exhaust manifold is much bigger then the stock mid-pipe. It's a loose fit and does not look like it will seal very well.

How are you sealing driver side flange? Any problem with leaking?

You MUST install different studs, or it going to LEAK. Get NAPA Exhaust Manifold Stud Kit #600-1819
