Default Catback InstaLLation?

OK so I am ordering a Greddy Evo for my 5th gen today....I decided to ask around for prices of installation. I went to Midas and they claim they don't install aftermarket parts.....this is after they put my muffler on around this time last year. Then I went to the only custom exhaust place i've noticed around here (URI, Rhode Island). They freakin wanted $130....I was like .

So from what i've read, you guys spend like $60 at most to get a catback system installed. How hard is it to install yourself? Being at school I don't have many tools available to me such as ramps to raise the car and whatnot. I wouldn't feel very safe under the car using the issued jack.....are there any other special tools I would need?

I just don't want to spend over like 60 bucks to get it freakin installed.....suggestions? h:

never do that... get a set of jack stands, and get some liquid wrench, and basic ratchet set. you'll be good to go then. Honestly It's a very easy install besides everything being so rusty.

$130, it should only take an hour

i'm paying like $100 since it needs to be cut cause of the h22 and i want the hangers bent around the s/t sway bar and make it hang higher.
