Takes about 60 minutes of your time and on a 1-10 scale (1 being easy, 10 being hard) of difficulty about a 4.

theres a bunch of 10mm? nuts connecting the header to the head. then you need to zap out the bolts on the cat. then take the o2 sensor/s out and then do the same thing i just said for the install but reverse it.
