depends on how much money you got j/k...if they advertised it as a complete bolt up system, you shouldn't have a prob...if you figure out an ingenious way to get all the rubber donuts on without cussing (you'll see what I mean), let us know...

those rubber donuts are quite simple to remove and reinstall if you use leverage with a long screw driver. the corksport should bolt on like is supposed to with no problems. I have a bolt on HKS dual exhaust that bolted on perfectly.

It's really easy, taking the old one off is the hard part

^What he said.

It took me maybe an hour to get my RB turbo back on. Took me three damn days to get all the old exhaust out.

I'm about to pick up a Racing Beat catback... I've looked under it and I know I COULD do it all myself, but my question is how much of a pain in the *** is it? I mean, would it be worth it to get a pro to do it just to save on pain and suffering?

Use alot of a good penetrating oil like PB blaster on all of the old nuts and bolts.

rubber donut trick. use a 12" long metal rod. i have a punch that is this long and shaped just right. get it inside the donut and just pull/pry them off. works like a charm.

Exhaust work is relatively easy (once you get the bolts off that is). I'd say going into this, get some PB blaster for bolts that wont come off, and a breaker bar if the PB blaster doesnt work. Good luck!

For the rubber exhaust donuts use a long screwdriver and a can of WD40 as a lube to help it a little. PB blaster will help alot if your exhaust hasnt been removed in a while or removed ever.

It can be done by yourself, but it really helps to have a buddy around when taking off the old one.
