I don't know about the LS4s, but an ISS swap in the 3800s was a pretty simple driveway job. I can't see the bolts on the LS4s being much harder to get to unless something from the larger engine is completely blocking it.

The 1st time I had mine done it was done in a couple hours. The second time they replaced the rack and the ISS and it didnt take a day to do it. Maybe it was the "new guy" working on your car???!?!

It took them about an hour to change my ISS while I waited. BTW, how does your Borla exhaust sound?
