I did it myself yesterday morning with the box on the ground in front of my car digging parts out as I needed them. Just go through the instructions first to know what yo u have to do and then take your time doing it. Save your money for gas or something, don't take it to the dealership. All you need is 2 screw drivers an allen wrench and a pliers...

Because I'm usually in 2nd gear when turning a corner and everytime I turn the corner if someones outside they turn to see what's coming so it's got to be somewhat loud lol
