Just bought an HKS dp

Hey guys just bought my first actual mod. An HKS dp. i know theres some question about it because its mildsteel but i figure if i wrap it with header tape. however i searched around alot and found that it got pretty good reviews from everyone who has it.
anyway while i was searching i couldnt find any sort of intructions for instalation, so is it basically like installing any other dp or is there any other tricks to it i should know about.
thanks

o by the way i also got my first useless mod an "POWERED BY HKS" licence plate holder... 20whp if u didnt know

cheers

No tricks, Just busted knuckles if the bolts are rusted on.

Will header tape prevent rust in mild steel? I'm not questioning like a smartass, but rather questioning like a dumbass.
ryan.

as for the plate holder adding 20hp- my stripes added at least 50whp which is why I don't have a downpipe, they're just not necessary when your car has racing stripes.

I just took my pre-cat off, took a good 2-3 hours, but I really didnt know exactly what I was doing so it took some "what the f#$@" time. I didn't have to pre-soak the nuts with liquid wrench or pb blaster, but a little WD40 and a breaker bar and it's all good. Heres what the ol' nuclear reactor looks like in case anyone hasn't seen it.
