It bolts in pretty easily as long as you aren't fighting with rusty bolts, IIRC you need a 13 or 14mm socket up front and a 15 in the back, two bolts come off on both ends, stock downpipe comes right off, put some gasket sealant on both ends, bolt the new one in, good to go.

The front bolts are in an awkward position though, it's a PITA to get out if you're dealing with stuck bolts/don't have a good extension (like I was - a fifteen minute job turned into three hours).

As far as tuning out the P0140 code that the car -will- throw if you have a catless, just come to the meet - I'm getting mine tuned out on that occasion, too. IIRC dsmuts was charging $20-40 per tune, correct me if I'm wrong?

Will I need a dp with an O2 bung?
