I wouldnt say it was exactly easy almost completely dropping the rear suspension, but it was definitly a job you can do your self. Now though you re going to want the lsj DP, believe me, I want one so bad right now to finish it off, I just dont have the extra cash at the moment.

The catback I got was in one piece still. I dropped the drivers side of the rear suspension so that i could get the catback in there, and get the old one out. I m not sure how it would be possible to remove and replace it without doing so.

Oh I see. Usually just hack it into 2 pieces and then when reinstalling it just get it welded or use a band clamp to hold it together. Dropping the rear end just sounds too time consuming. lol. Responded to ur PM btw.

well i got it on and it sounds alright, the exhaust i got was cut in two peices, i used a 2 1/4 coupler, and 2 exhaust clamps and an exhaust sealant to hold it in and seal it up now i need the LSJ dp and i'll be set for a while.

its sounds pretty good its notlike its really loud but it is a bit deeper. As for HP increase, yeah i'm sure there if a few but not to much to make it seem like it has way more power...

It gives you a more "bassy" sound at low rpms. and power increase is small, but im sure when u run Nitrous or any other fi its gonna give you some extra flow.

Yeah. I'm not a big fan of nitrous. Especially living in So Cal. Cops are a bitch about that stuff. And I don't want to accidentally blow my motor. I just want some cheap aftermarket parts that will hold me over till I get the new SS/TC.
