ease of installing B&B?
How difficult would it be for someone without a lift to install the B&B exhaust? How much room would I need under the car to work? Would just a set of ramps work?

Was it fairly easy? I may get my brother in law to help. He has all the mechanical know-how, not me.

All I did was jack it up on all 4 corners, and it took roughly 20-30 minutes. The only hard part is getting the exhaust off the rubber hangers.

I just installed B&B on mine and it's about the loudest thing in town. I ditched the caddy and used their race pipe as well. Do you have to worry about emissions where you are at?

I said screw it and had it done by professionals. They had a hard time with the rubber hangers also. This thing sounds great! Emissions is no problem in Arkansas.

Easiest way to get one off the hangers is to lube them (WD40, cooking oil, whatever) and use a pair of channel locks. Just put one end on the end of the metal rod attached to the exhaust, the other on the opposite end of the rubber hanger and squeeze.
