Install was a pain in the ***. Thats being truthfull. Best thing to do is call SLP, order two 90deg bent pieces of pipe, take your car to a muffler shop, have them cut them to lenght, expand the ends, test fit, and BINGO, it works. I tried the "I can do it myself" did not go to well. The muffler shop tried to bend pieces earlier, but the bends just took to much pipe diameter out. The slp pipe 90's are the same diam. throughout the bend. Worked GREAT!!
If I took the slp pipe route the first time, them I would say piece of cake. But I didn't

I guess I should mention, cut the 90's on the stock exhaust. You will have to cut the intermediate pipe as well. Get the car on a lift, my jack stands wouldn't go high enough to keep the slp over the axle pipe together, I ended up cutting it. Then I had to get the car higher
to get the gmmg over the axle.That way by cutting the 90's before the tips, and the intermediate pipe, you save the slp exhaust. Mine is in lots of pieces. I was told by Matt that you cut the pipe just before the 90's, expand the pipe to get the cut pieces out of the 90's and the two stock 90's would slide right on. Mine didn't. Yours may. I don't now.
Anyways, if you go my route, I have the part #'s for the pipe from SLP.
Let me know.
