If you've already done this install, then disregard this post.

Use lots of WD-40 on the bolts to loosen them and be sure to tighten the new bolts down to about 26 ft./lbs of torque when bolting on the new pipe. Be sure you get the o2 sensors in correctly as well. After you install it, start the car and carefully check for leaks. Be sure also to keep an eye on the SES light. If it comes on, get the codes pulled immediately and evalute the problem.
