http://www.sportcompactonly.com/Hond...87_vy-1999.htm

My main question is how hard is it to install a cat back yourself... with out a lift. my friend thinks we can do it using ramps.. i have also herd a buddy say he did it himself and wished he would have paid the $100 at midas and had them do it.. i really dont know what to think, i would like to save the $ but i also want it to be on there right... if ne 1 has ne expierence here please let me know !! thanks !!

It all depends on how comfortable you are with tools. If you or friendare a weekend mechanic then it's not that bad. things that will slow you down are going to be rusted bolts O2 sensor if in to tight. (me and a friend who has an evo. We did aheader back with test pipe. we got the cat outbut the O2Sensorwas a bear to get out. we finally had to goto mavis and have them heat it with a torch.) the rest was relitivly easy about 2 hours.Oh we had a jack and two jack stands

thats a great exhaust system, cant go wrong with GReddy.

as for installing it yourself, it can be tricky if you dont have the right tools. the bolts holding the stock exhaust on are more often than not beyond a point of return and its usually easiest to use a torch to get them off. but thats really the only hard part.

but there really isnt any way to put it on wrong.
