I tried to install it myself but I could not remove a few bolts. I bought a craftsman 1/2" 400tq impact wrench with 6 point impact deep sockets, jack stands, low profile jack, creeper... I spent close to $400 on tools... I ended up return it all and taking it to a shop. I spent about $300 for the exhaust and test pipes installation (at different times) I'm sure it would have been cheaper if I had it installed all at once. If you don't want to stress out about stripping bolts and time spent on the install I would recommend taking it to a shop... I dropped it off in the morning and picked it up during lunch... stress free
