Did it myself. Backed it up on some of those rhino ramps and was done in about 1.5 hrs with the help of my wife/tool grabber

Even if you do it at a shop its not expensive. Essentially 1 hour labor cost, at most 2 hours. No additional fees because all it is for most of the catbacks is bolt off, bolt on. Thats it.

it's the easiest exhaust I've ever done. getting off the factory exhaust is literally two clamps then pull and push then off.

Did mine in my garage with ramps. 2.5 hours later and the sound coming out was sweet music to my ears.

I agree with you! I did my cat-back in my driveway on ramps too. It was WAY easier than the install on my 13'

2 1/2 hours? Did you make a boiled dinner? lol

sometimes it is more than just a simple bolt on. Yes it is one of the easiest things, but if you are doing it by yorself alone, it could take some extra time aligning it properly. Sometimes it just happens to align perfectly, sometimes you have to play with it. I felt like that was the biggest challenge when I was installing the MRT H pipe catback system. The rest is very very easy.

Thanks. The CJPP videos make it look so easy... now I know what to expect.

This. Best to have an extra pair of hands. 0 install cost.

1.5 hours in garage with floor jack and jack stands. Had the wife help me remove the stock system (heavy/unwieldy).

I Did my own install. FRPP/Borla. I'm not a fan of jackstands. I just don't trust them, don't feel comfortable under the car with them. So I built my own supports. Dead wood...not going anywhere. I had the entire car off the garage floor, with plenty of room to work.

I bought a Dewalt Lithium cordless 1/2" impact wrench. Made the work really fast and easy.

I built the wheel supports out of 4" X 12" X 18" D.F. Header beams. Put two sections side by side. Laminated one side with 1/2" Plywood and 3" screws. On the other side I drilled two 1" X 2" deep holes and use 1" dia. Dowels.

I stacked to of these together. The dowels were so they wouldn't side apart. Then I used two sections of 2" X 4" screwed into the top section as wheel chalks.

Since I don't have a garage or access to a lift, I think I'll have my dealership install the Ford Racing Touring cat backs. I really like the sound of that system.
