haha i was referring to me doing it by myself up under the car with the front end raised up a little. Hell, my first time taking my factory pipe off using a lift only took an hour. That was before I knew what I was doing.

dont blame you, first time i took some pipes off on a lift, i had it all unbolted and i was trying to work it out under the car, turned around and the back end swung down and whacked me in the back of the head

Takes me about 45 minutes to an hour to swap mine out by myself with a set of Rhino Ramps. So I figure an hour and a half of my time every 2 years is worth it.

I just got my catted H in and have yet to install it...but in the future I might have to switch to an O/R one. I would say it's def worth the trouble to swap out the pipe once a year

It really depends on what mods you have and what you plan on doing. NA cars with a good catted X or H pipe will not loose much power but SC cars generally loose enough for me to change it back and forth. If you are looking for every last bit of HP, you will want to swap the stock one back each year.

Screw that! We don't have..what'd you call it ssnooww

First time I swapped a mid pipe under a car on jacks was in the Sears parking lot last february and there was a 20* Alabama arctic blast whipping up under the car. We went in Sears and bought jackstands, jacks, all the tools. Then we cranked the car, got it all warm underneath then worked for about 20 min. then cranked the car again to warm it back up. When we were done , we went back inside and got every penny back for the tools.
