I'll help if ya need it- :D

It's pretty straightforward but a second set of hands probably makes it a lot easier(I've swapped exhaust, supercat, then straight pipe- the supercat install was hardest because I did it alone.)

Thanks W0rm, I'm really just looking for someone who has done it b4, I have a tendency to break things. When are you free, I'm looking to get it in pretty quick, just cause, its hard to wait on a new toy. And once again, thanks

Probably pretty busy this next weekend(shreveport auto show, woop). In fact the weekend after next might be bad too.. we might be able to do it after work hours during the week at some point?
PM me and let me know what days are good for you. We'll work out the logistics.

well I got the exhaust on at about midnight friday night....BIG THANKS TO w0rm, as he pretty much did all the work, I think I removed the underbraces, and put them back on, and thats about all the wrenching I did. w0rm is an awesome guy and it wouldn't have gotten done if he hadn't have come over...and if Home Depot wouldn't have accidently stayed open 10 extra minutes!

honestly, It was fun to do. That exhaust system is quite beautiful. The plaques on the multiple parts of the exhaust and the branding imprints along with the tips- I found myself complimenting it repeatedly. I have a strong feeling those 4 inch tips or whatnot will be melting some shrouds in short order.

I have got to start wearing gloves more often though, my knuckles look like I got into a fight with a wall.
