Lots of lubrication on the hangars.

I'm probably one of the most mechanically inept people around, and didn't have much trouble swapping mine out.

Took about 1 hour to do it. Very simple task once the panhard brace is lowered. The passenger side took a bit more fighting but its doable. First, is it normal for the passenger side tip to protude about 3/4" more than the driver side? Now first impression when I turned it on, I was thinking crap..its going to be to quiet...rolled it out of the garage and gave it a few revs and thought ok it sounds good. Drove it around the block and it sounds great. Let my wife drive it around while I spectated and it sounds really good! Liking it more each time I drive it. I may remove the resonators for a bit more volume, not sure yet..well see how they burn in.
