Default Finally Getting Exhaust

So i found out that my dad has ordered a Magnaflow cat back for my 18th birthday. I'm pretty excited because i hate the stock exhaust and i dont have the money myself to buy an aftermarket one.

Anywho, is there any problems i will run into installing this system and are there things i should watch out for with this exhaust? like rattles and things coming loose?

Also i will post pics as soon as its on.

Its pretty simple to do. Just make sure to get the car jacked up nice and sturdy and spray the bolts with wd40. You'll prolly need to have a sawzall and cut the pipe b4 it goes up over the axle. Shouldn't be too hard.
