Probably the easiest thing you'll ever do to your car. Just remember to WD-40 the bolts to help loosen them, and use a little silicone or dishwashing liquid to lube the rubber hangers to make them slide off easier. This refers of course to just the mufflers - I haven't attempted to remove anything else.

I'd say changing the tails are a lot easier than taking off the exhaust. (In terms of mods.) And please... none of those "slappin on the Acura-TL dot com sticker is easier" and "changing light bulbs are easier" stuff!

The hardest part is going under the car and loosening 2 rusty bolts on each side, but with WD40, you're good to go.........

it's like a universal lubricant that loosens rusty or stuck bolts, fixes squeeks, etc. you can check it out at the above website.

WD-40 Multipurpose lubricant which helps remove rust and loosen rusted parts. Stops metal parts from squeeking too. The 40 is for how many tries they had to do before they perfected it. aka Formula #40. hope this helps..

The WD means "water displacement" and the 40 does mean the 40th formula. The story is told that the stuff was used by the Air Force and everyone stole cans of the stuff to use at home so the manufacturer decided to sell the stuff to the public. The "WD-40" was the internal code for the product. So much for useless information.
