Okay... I've *never* worked on an exhaust, save buffing the tip or painting the pipe... So what's involved with hanging my new cat-back? Any special tips from the pros? Do i need a new MC>CB gasket?

Get new gaskets. The exhaust should have come with them... Hanging the exhaust is easy... Getting the old one off can be tricky... Make sure it's cooled off. Lube up the rubber hangers good... They can be a bear to get the steel rods out of. Good luck!

this is already a given but just in case...

get her on jackstands when you do the job for safety...

dont rely on the floor jack for support...

if you dont have access to air...soak the bolts with liquid wrench the night prior..
