Just got new parts

its really not that bad although you gotta remove the downpipe and like someone else said unbolt the right side motor mount and jack the engine up a little bit, it makes it soooooo much easier to remove the uppipe. but definitely let me know if you need a hand.

also picking up a set of these isnt a bad idea. http://www.crucialracing.com/products/locking_hardware.php

i heard about them, installed them, and none of my bolts have moved at all i have not had to go back and retighten them at all.
