my new hangers for my revt2 system are coming tomorrow
and i want to do it myself. since its a bolt on app should i expect
any real diffculty doing it myself as opposed to paying 80 bucks for
some honda muffler shop guy to do it?

 

Assuming that your in situ exhaust comes off without drama, the RB catback(?) system bolts up pretty easily.

I hung my mufflers in place first (cause they're bloody heavy) and then installed the y-pipe, loosely bolting it all together as I went along.
A floor jack makes lifting the y-pipe into place and getting the hangers screwed in almost painless.

Not having a full hanger kit at hand I went to PepBoys and purchased a selection of (what looked like) suitable hangers and then mixed and matched till the exhaust hung correctly.

Save yourself- or whoever comes after you- future grief and use new hardware (stainless, preferably), liberally coated with anti-sieze.

After running the system for a week or so, go back and retighten all your connections- heat cycling may have loosened them a bit- and you're good to go.

All in all, I'd say I spent under two hours installing the catback, including jacking up the car and getting her on stands. Whether this is worth $80 to you is obviously your decision.

I'll note that my car still had good inner muffler hangers in place- they're the ones that are up high, kinda wedged next to the fuel tank. They seem like they could be a real PITA to replace/install- if your car needs them, factor that time into the job as well.
