Catback system? Sweet. It's cake. No welding necessary. You'll need a pipe cutting tool to get the stock system off just past the mufflers. That was the biggest pain for me. A sawsall would have been an asset. Otherwise, have a blast! Oh, should be common sense, but don't place the jack stands under the axle.

Install is really easy. The hardest part for me was getting the stock exhaust off. You can either cut it or drop the rear axle low enough to remove it.

It's just bolt on

Just after the stock mufflers. The kit will come with instructions. Really easy.

orhave your muller shop do it. I had my muffler shop do it for 35 bucks. It was welded in and took 30 min

Now you've confused me. Which magnaflow system did you buy? Catback? X-Pipe? Tips? I assumed you bought the MagnaPack catback system, which comes with the MagnaPack mufflers, pipes, and tips.

Sorry 'bout that! I bought the Catted-X with the MagnaPack system. Took us about 4 hours to set it all up. I believe you'll be able to do it in much less time since you're not dealing with the manifold bolts for the stock H pipe. It's going to be louder than what you're used to, which is a good thing!

Sounds good to me, but sound is subjective. Should pass emissions just fine. Heat the cats up before going in if you're concerned. I won't know until August.

I just got my car tested for emissions two days ago in MD... I have Magnaflow catted X and Magnapacks. Passed without a hitch. The guy rev'd the crap out of my car and kept smiling

I just got a digital camcorder and was playing with it earlier as I went to get food... Made a quick exhaust sound clip. If I had an extra set of hands I woulda got some better sound clips and if my engine wasn't cold (20 F here).

You need the 3ivX decoder from http://www.3ivx.com. Oh, the video itself is boring and low quality (faster download) because I'm learning the video editing software and there's nothing worthwhile to see. It's for the sound.
