Do it yourself. From what I understand, it's 2 bolts and 3 hangers, should take about 10 minutes once the car is jacked up. Use some WD-40 to make it easier to get the old muffler off the hangers.

its simple to put on.. but i think 10 minutes is exaggerating a bit. if you've never done anything like it before.. expect to do it in 30 mins to an hour, but once you figure out how it goes on, it will only take you 10 mins the next time

You're kidding me. You'd pay someone $45 to install a muffler that bolts right on?

Nah, use your breaker bar. Don't want to use a torque wrench except when you need to measure torque. Torque wrenches are only accurrate for so many uses then they need to be recalibrated.

Seriously guys a tourqe wrench is called a tourque wrench for a reason! Hence it's name. If you paid for it you can use for what ever you would like to.

I'm sorry but if you're using a torque wrench to breaks bolts then you're wasting your money. Buy a breaker bar and don't risk damaging your torque wrench under an extreme stress situation...THEY ARE NOT DESIGNED FOR THAT.

I have to agree. You CAN use a tq wrench to loosen bolts but you're just needlessly accelerating wear on it, forcing you to service it sooner. Just use a cheap breaker bar or an impact gun to get the bolts loose. Take care of your tools and they'll take care of you (& the same goes for your car.)
