Exhaust: Things to watch for?

My new RB cat-back system (aka: muffler) was sitting on my porch when I got home today. My intention is to install it tomorrow morning. Any idiot traps I should be aware of before I tear the old one off and put the new one on?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks. Fortunately, I have access to a lift so I'll have plenty of clearance and plan to spray some rubber undercoating on while I'm there.

Lots of wd40, hope you bought a bolt kit because you will break half of them off.
