it's cheap to get it installed.. don't try to do it yourself..

if you really want to, the only way to do is to get under the car, figure out how you will connect the muffler to the existing pipe, then cut it at that point and use some U clamps to hold it in place..

yeah you wont save any money doing it yourself, seriously go to a shop since its your own muffler they'll weld it in within an hour if they're not busy!

while your at it, get them to remove your catalitic convertor =)
(if not not in cali) haha

dayum...thats almost as big as my...::eghem:: nevermind, yeah there's a thread on here if you do a search, a lot of people have been doing some racing with and without exhausts and have come to the conclusion that on our cars the gains through exhausts were almost negligable(sp). Although i woldn't mind one bit spending a couple hundred for that sweet low rum,ble mMmMmMmMMm

Do not go to Crappy Tire, they will overcharge and screw up something else at the same time. If you go there, ask if you can stick around in the Bay area. That way, you'll see what they're doing and what they're not doing. If you go there, you also have to calculate how much time they spend on your car.
