There are 4 bolts that need to be removed (2 for each side) and are located at the junction between the pip that connects the Y pipe to each of the muffler cans. After unbolting, all u gotta do is dislodge the mount points (2 each muffler) from the rubber hangars if ur intention is to take them off too.

I got mine off and my new exhaust on in less than 30 min and it was my first time trying this with out an impact wrench...now granted it would have been better with one...it was still a breeze with out.

Same here. Before this swap I had only changed the oil on a car. It actually took me about 40min. b/c I spent about 5 min. looking for the bolts that Comptech supplied only to find them at the bottom of the box!! The car is slightly louder, especially at low RPMs, but a new exhaust really finishes these cars off.... makes it sound like they have 260hp!!

You ever pull along-side someone with a broken muffler/exhaust system? ... that's what it will sound like - it will sound like SHIT!
