Smile RV6 Downpipe Installation Help

Hello Everyone

I'm currently located in the Houston area.
I just recently bought the RV6 downpipe and Takeda Intake.

I don't have all the tools necessary for installation and wanted to see if someone would be willing to give me a hand in the installation process.

Thanks

I can help with the intake. Never done a down pipe before but if you have an idea we could tackle it as well. I'm pretty sure it's not rocket science. I'm about 20 mins further south on 45

it's their version of "Jpipes" or headers.

if the vehicle is pretty new; you wont have a problem changing it out.

if the exhaust bolts seen rust; well, you're experienced!

I would love to help, but im still working on my car.
I found my oil leak.

I have the Takeda Intake to put in too. Just need to clean the air filter.
But I'm willing to drive out regardless of the distance.

I think the 2nd gen TSX downpipe would be kinda a pita since its near the firewall but looks do-able.
