6 bolts + all the other misc stuff like the intake piping etc. Think it took me a few hours, especially if the6 bolts are stuck on or if you need to take off the studs

IIRC, it took me about 4 hours including removing the necessary shields, the O2 sensor, and the pre-cat. The DP installation was easy since I used the HKS unit which fit very well. I re-used the original gaskets and had no problems.

IMO if the car has over 75K miles and the stock dp has never come off then have someone else do unless you really want a headache. It is an easy job but can get real ugly real fast.
