i have never installed a catback  my self but from what i can see all you have to do is un bolt the stock from the back side of the cat remove it from the hangers and then just go in reverse order: put the duals onto the hangers, then just bolt it to the cat(be sure to replace the gasket...)

*NOTE* you may have to get some PB the stuff with the yellow top to break loose the bolts on the cat...depending on how old the car they may be a bitch to get off!

goood luck

get some PB Blaster, let the bolts soak for a while, then go at it with a breaker bar and u'll be alright. &nbsp;the only problem u could run into is snapping bolts, that can be a pain in the ass if you're not prepared (hint hint: plan on having snapped bolts if its an S13). &nbsp;this is other than the obvious jack, jack stands (or hydraulic lift in my case, <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'> workin at an Infiniti dealer sure had its perks). &nbsp;good luck...

yeah the install was pretty simple but a pain in the arse at the same time cus of the weight 30+lbs.i suggest to put it together if you have a friend to help and install it in one piece.Just connect one hanger and the two screws at the cat and it will hang.Then have some wd40 and shoot the hangers down and it will slid right in there.But the exhaust is hella sweet.

I see you're using the silencers with yours. Would you recommend them?

Where's the silencer's? &nbsp; and this is really a no-brainer. &nbsp;Just reverse it on ramps and cut out the old Rubber hangers and then you remove. &nbsp;Then just pushthe new hangers on with the pipe. &nbsp;It really is not that hard. &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

Well cam i am not useing the silencers at all.i put them in once and well it sucked ass.It did do what they were suppose to but i like the sound an have not been bugged by the "pigs".I do have them but I am willing to re sell them at this point they are good if you have real strict exhaust laws or get pulled over alot.

As far as cutting the rubber hangers if they are not bad no need to cut them just spray some wd40 or pb blaster on them and it wll slide right off and respray when you are about to put the new exhaust on.It is a waste of money to spend on something that is not bad.I used the same hangers that i had on there.But this was a real simple process easyier then adding my CAE.That was a complete biatch to do.
