How long does it take to hook up an exhaust??

I bought my corsa exhaust last week and it finally came in...
i cant wait to hook it up tomarrow!!!
i hear people talking about how good their exhausts sound and i know that the corsa wont dissapoint me...
I was just wondering from other guys that have hooked up exhausts, about how long will it take me?

If you have a lift no more than a half hour. It took me only 20 some minutes.

It took me longer to gather up all of my tools than it did to change it. Make sure you have an impact driver. I couldn't budge my bolts with a socket wrench.

well, it's really only 2 bolts that you have to take off, then take it off the hangers and cut it by the torsion beam. fit the new exhaust, and tighten 2 bolts. shouldn't really take that long at all.

Yeah, you'll have no problem. I didn't, and I'm not very familiar with working on cars.

you can also get the stock exaust out with out having to cut it if you got a buddy.. just remove the 2 bolts holding the rear struts to the frame connector, it will drop down than u can remove the exaust in one piece,you just need a buddy to help you get the frame connector back up to put the shocks back on...
