i installed them on my car. i dont really have any tips, i just knew how to take the old ones off and put the new ones on. its kinda funny, after working on cars for awhile, you just seem to know how it works. when i first started, i didnt know how to do an intake, but now i just know how to do things, even if its my first time. i mean if u can take it off... u can install the new one. thats how i see it. and u dont even have a rear bar.. so it should be all the more easier for you. the new mounting points are near the center for your rear bar, and just look at the sway at the front, it might be easier if u take the header off, but i managed to wiggle the front in without taking the header completely off, i just loosened the bolts on the cat. and spray alot of wd40 on the endlinks to help lossen them. hope that helps.
