Need advice - New to modding TL's

So i recently bought my Black 08-TL-S a few weeks ago and been reading a ton on here. I love modding MAN toys I mod my 02 954rr all the time.

I was looking at starting slow and just building her up over time. I wanted to start off with adding ATLP V2 J-pipe for $400 and then later this year adding the XLR8 Quad Exhaust. I guess my question is, if i have all the right tools and then some how easy is it to install the J-Pipe?is it as simple as removing the stock J-pipe and bolting on the aftermarket one? Is it something i can do in a few hours/a day/a weekend?

I want to wait a few more weeks before i order it bc the engine light came on for the O2 senors and i have to drive 3hrs to the dealership to have them fix it under the warranty which is up in 2000miles....

Other than rusty bolts the j pipe is a easy DIY mod. About 1-2 hrs taking your time.

Try to take it to Autozone and beg them to reset the code or ask em to borrow the code machine and reset it urself and see if it comes back on. Sometimes something random happens and it sets off a code and even if te problem is fixed the code light will stay on til u have it erased. Sometimes u just have to make sure there's a problem Bedford you waste time driving to a dealership to deal with the hassel

I just put my ATLP JPipe V2 on a 3-4 weeks ago. The extra power is barley noticeable with just the Jpipe. I installed an INJEN CAI and ATLP race pipe two weeks after and I felt the change. My ATLP Quad Exhaust will be here in a few weeks so I hope I can feel a more significant change of power with it on. I guess will see.
