not too bad. the hard part is getting the bolts loose and o2 sensor off. working on jackstands makes little room work the stuff off.

loosen underbrace
remove the 3 nuts and bolts up front
remove the 2 bolts w/ spring in back
take off of hanger
unplug o2 sensor
remove stock cat
remove o2 sensor from cat
install o2 sensor on supercat
install supercat
plug in o2 sensor
bolt back up, put in hanger
re-install underbrace.

done.
may require someone to pull(tug) on the exhaust from the back to allow room to get the cat free.

Important tip - the three bolts up front undo from the 'header' side. The rear is a splined stud, even though it has a bolthead. If you try to undo the bolt from the back you will be there forever.

ngo just said you can do with jack stands, but it'll be tougher because there is less room to work with.

what is a splined stud?
