SPD y-pipe

I'm gonna be installing a SS SPD Y-pipe. I was just wondering how hard it was to install and how do you like it? I know you southern guys have a much easier time than all of us in the rust belt but other than rust, is there anything that will throw me for a loop?

I had an exhuast shop install mine and the only thing they said was they cut a little at a time to get a perfect fit. other than that went good , I like mine not sure how much power I gained but it sounds alot better exhaust wise..

You'll be happy with this mod. I had a shop do mine and feel it did make a difference performance wise. Spend the extra money and get the stainless.

I installed one on mine about a year ago. It wasn't too bad. Mostly take your time and it should go fine. I took my original y-pipe all the way out to cut it. Then I reinstalled it all and tack welded it together. Then removed it again to weld it up. May not have been necessary to do it that way but it worked out well for me.
