Default Exhaust Install DIY

Reading from other threads, it looks that the only hard part is removing the rubber hanger. Any suggestions so it doesn't become a headache? Anything else I should know about the DIY? Thanks.

Really? Is it really that easy to do? I would like to upgrade my exhaust as I see a lot of CL owners changing theirs and selling them here but Im worried about it costing too much to install. Do you have to have the car on a lift or can you reverse it onto ramps? Seriously though, no one has done DIY with some pics on this?

Check out the thread above. There are some pics. Ramps are sufficient as long as you aren't so big that you can't fit underneath.

So how much do the bolts need to be tightened?

to remove exhaust hanger, some wd40 or soap would be fine.
