So what is it that is so hard to installing these things? From pictures, it seems like you take off the j-pipe and put these on the j-pipe and then install them back on where the j-pipe went. Is this correct or am I way off?

Impact gun, breaker bar, a socket wrench and ratcheting wrench is really all you need.
dr brains, they replace your precats! Haha look in your engine bay. The front precat is between the engine block and the radiator. You'll see it covered by a head shield. The rear precat is underneath the strut bar, behind the engine. It also has a head shield (thats a pain in the ass to remove).
The R-V6 precat deletes just replace these precats with straight pipe.

My daily commute doesn't really allow for much WOT'ing 
To be honest, the exhaust sounds so good that I really haven't been focusing on the performance gains
Gonna set up a dyno session next Saturday so we shall see...
What do you guys think? Base 5AT, AEM CAI, R-V6 deletes, J pipe, race pipe and Comptech catback.

CEL just popped up after ~200+ miles.
I took some better vids but its 34F outside right now and its pretty raspy (so not a great indication of what my exhaust note sounds like when its warmer out).
Trying to cut out part of the vid... will upload them soon

Yeah I'm gonna have to borrow a friends. I'll try disconnecting the battery sometime tomorrow...
Here are the vids... my moms visiting me so I had her record them. She doesn't really know how to operate the phone
Revving in P
Revving in N
In 34F weather so its raspy. Will probably replace my race pipe with a high flow cat... damn this cold weather!
Oh... excuse my mother

Yes it did ,
Precat deletes + ATLP J pipe + ATLP race pipe
BTW here is a video I just made everything is stock right now, I'll upload some more once the above listed parts are installed.
The micro fiber towel adds 2.5 bhp btw

^ Thats how my exhaust sounded with the J and test pipe. Well, close to it at least. Glad I could help Oh, I'll get those pictures of my headlights to you too.
I can't wait to throw on a high flow cat and a lighter, smaller crank pulley.
I'm definitely feeling a loss of low end torque now...
Will unplug battery after work today and see if the CEL goes away.

I finished "milkman"'s install couple hours ago
Lift was not accessible so settled for jackstands...
That was the first time I've ever worked on my back
No comment how you and richie did it, how do you get the leverage needed to break oxidize nuts
Anyway took me just under 4.5 hours which is a far cry with the lift which takes under 3
