Just have a "saw's all" handy for the factory exhaust system, then you dont have to worry about dropping the trans crossmember. Also expect that v-band clamp that connect's the factory downpipe to the turbo to be a pain lol but once you loosen the nut just take a flathead screwdriver and carefully pry the clamp until its loose enough to take off. Also I am sure you know but I will tell you anyways, when you get the new exhaust in you want tighten all the clamps down from the turbo down pipe back to the tail pipe in that order, that way you are not re-adjusting the tail pipe every time you tighten a clamp anywhere on the system in front of it. Oh and also have some wd-40 or some type of spray lube for the rubber hangers, it makes it alot easier to get the factory exhaust out of the hangers and the new exhaust in the hangers.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

Get used to it. You will drive around listening to it from now on pondering the next power enhancing mod. No fuel economy will be had but hopefully you won't lose much as you hammer around.
). You'll probably end up doing more community service...
