[QUOTE="sparkee13, post: 1412309, member: 35933"] Update - I ended up getting the Corsa Xtreme (muffler & res delete), I like the stock tips so I didn't get the full cat back. I bought from [USER=1314]@Nick@Apollo-Optics[/USER] (great service & great price - highly recommend). I did the install myself with a buddy. It took us just under 5 hrs, but we took our time, were bullshitting throughout, took a lot of smoke breaks, and in general had fun while we worked. No access to a lift, so we did it on the floor. Another thing that added a little time was I thought it made sense to remove the resonator first, but all that did was make everything downstream loose & swing a little, so removing the muffler took a little longer. All that to say, if we would've started from the back, and spent less time bullshitting, I think it would easily have been under 4 hrs. If we would've had it on a lift, even less. Most importantly, I love the way it sounds, and I love it even more bec I did it myself instead of paying somebody to install! The install is not hard at all, especially if you have even the slightest mechanical ability! I am in no way a mechanic, or a gear head, which is why I asked about the install originally, but I am an electrician by trade, and am very comfortable working with tools. Other than my mistake of starting with the resonator first, the only hard part was the clamp on the passenger side resonator inlet.
