The only problem I ran into was putting the DP on, you might have to take a stud or two to fit the DP on... I have a 3in Pettit DP... Just dont panic when your DP doesnt seem to fit, you just have to remove a stud or two, then put them back in. Also, when you first start your car, white smoke will come from the engine, from under the hood, its okay dont worry. (rose my heart rate a bit when I saw it.) Thats all I can think of its pretty easy, just time consuming.
