[QUOTE="ronreid03, post: 147096, member: 4583"] I just die this install yesterday (8/24) in my garage with the car on Jackstands. Took about 1.5 hours start to finish. My car has only 400 miles on it so galling hasn't set in yet. I used hand tools (3/8" drive). I used a swivel, a 12" extension (would've liked it to be a bit longer), a 15mm deep well socket (12 point but 6 would've been better) on the manifold end and 14 mm on the catback end. The o2 sensors upstream of the cats were very tough to disconnect and reconnect; that was the hardest part of the whole job. Otherwise it wasn't too tough. Some WD40 really helped on the passenger side nuts. All in all, as someone else said, it's a good "bonding" experience with your car. Otherwise, unless you can't afford the $50, have a professional do the job! Ron Reid 03 Zinc Yellow Convertible [/QUOTE]
