Fast Intentions Exhaust Install Advice/Things to watch out for

I'm going to be installing my Fast Intentions Exhaust system this week.
Just wanted to know if there are anything I need to watch out for in order to make this install go more smooth.
Did a search and couldn't really find any tips or advice.

I know exhaust install is pretty straight forward
But, give any helpful tips/hints if you guys installed the exhaust yourself would be helpful,

Thank you guys in advance!!

Just a FYI, as my signature states,
I own a 2011 AWD Coupe, and ordered the Fast Intentions Stainless Steel Exhaust with the new style X pipe with the 18" resonator.

congrats on the new exhaust!
like u said everything is straight forward. wd-40 the rubber hinges so they can slip out easily, and all bolts on the stock exhaust. it might be best to have the new exhaust fully laid out. figure out all the sockets needed for uninstall and install for a speedy finish. nothing else i can think of.

Pre-soak your OEM bolts and nuts with PBlaster few hrs prior to wrench time. It will be a real PITA if you strip a nut. Just take your time and it would really help to have an extra set of hands.

Have fun and make sure to post some video clips/pics for us!

Get a friend to help hold up the system as you bolt it on, its kind of a pita to do yourself.

Great exhaust ! GL w install should be pretty straight forward just make sure you spray down those bolts. I should have mine installed in about 2-3 weeks, I got the TDX W SS 12 Inch resonated X pipe and to make it sweeter some Resonated HFC.

I was thinking about the 12inch resonated x pipe as well,
but tony said 18" should be just fine cuz I don't want it loud.
If I think it's too quiet i'll just get a resonated HFC
