I just dropped the catback so the y-pipe would move around alittle. I was going to take it off untill i started in on one of the bolts to the manifolds. It was screaching so load and it was tight so i worked around it.

When i had mine installed it sure looked like it was way over my head. I paid $160 for the converter install with fluids. $300 is way overpriced and you should find a better deal. If you don't have a lift i'd think it would be a B**ch to do the install.
