Installing exhaust...

self explanatory. it is super easy. you unbolt the 3 bolts from the cat as well as the bar under the rear subframe (4 bolts) and then remove the exhaust. Undoing the rubber hangers can be a pain, though.

The best way to make this job easier is to thoroughly soak the nuts and studs where the exhaust mates with the catalytic converter with penetrating oil. Use the correct stuff (Liquid Wrench or PB BLaster, not WD-40), apply two to three times, and allow several hours between applications. The most common way that this job goes bad is if you sieze or break one of the studs.
Use silicon spray lubricant or dish soap to assist with the removal of the exhaust hangers. Do not WD-40 since it contains petroleum distillates that will degrade the rubber over time.
Also, I purchased a replacement exhaust donut (it's not a standard exhaust gasket) just to be safe. Otherwise, it's pretty straight-forward.
