Easy install...pain to get to one of the bolts though... probably a 3/10... I put together a CIA dp install how to thread... it should be basically the same for your dp as well...

EASY!!!

I had the whole exhaust put on and i paid $85 but when i looked under the car there is plenty of room to do it yourself. I didnt do it myself because i dont have a garage or a lift.

All of the bolts are easy to get to... Just undo the 4 bolts that attach to the turbo FIRST, then its EASY to get to the 3rd bolt that holds the other side of the downpipe to the rest of the exhaust.

If you try to undo the 3 bolts on the triangle side of the exhaust first, its a ROYAL pita to get the top bolt off.

You'll see what I'm talking about when you do it. Shouldn't take you more than 20 minutes, including jacking the car up.

Make sure you have a nice extension and a universal bend and this is a cake job

+1. Just installed my Hahn catless DP yesterday. You are going to hate me(pookie) because I live in Houston and I went to Modern Performance and picked it up AND had it on yesterday! Make sure you have a swivel and extensions. It's always harder to get the stock pipe off because the cats are in the way. The drivers side top bolt on the stock pipe......you'll need a swivel. Also the top bolt on the triangle(catback side) you'll need a long extension because the cat is in the way.


I'm surprised how un-ricey it sounds with no cats. I had an SVT Focus back in the day and I deleted the cat and it sounded like Fast and Furious.
