installation is easy... really... even a caveman could probably do it, i don't even think you need directions, when i did the borla... it was so easy, unbolt chit, take it out, bolt the new exhaust on and tada you're done... if you fly me to FL i'll do it for you for free

yeah thats what i heard... cuz its unlike the stillen exhaust where its basically our same stock exhaust structure .. so the hooks are the same..

but the FI isnt alike at all .. so i heard that the hooks are hard to put on and align correctly.. but that isnt too hard right ?

Not at all, they fit right in the stock spot. Had no issues with alignment at all

here are some tips (paypal me 2 cents if you like them haha)

* You don't have to cut that heat shield.. just have it completely unscrewed, you'll see small rivets on the edges, you can get those off with a drill.. after drilling through the rivets the shield will just.. fall off, I didn't have to do any cutting

* patience & WD40, OEM bolts are a b!tch to unblot.. fill those suckas with WD40 before unbolting them..

* WD40 goes on those hangers too

* tips are a b!tch to get aligned, play around with how the exhaust sits on the hangers

and +1 on listening to the VQ with no catback.. DAMN!

the heat shield was as i recall blocking the path of the exhaust pipes on the passangers side.. they have to go otherwise you'll end up with one tip only

and aligning is not a HUGE pain.. but with one person pushing and the other directing should be fine

I recommend putting some 3M tape on the paint around the tips, when you are taking of the canister.
