Catback / testpipe install

[coyfish]

I ordered a test pipe recently and I know thats a pretty simple bolt on install. How difficult is the rest of the catback installation? Is it "permanant?" I know the test pipe is easy to remove / replace. Keep in mind im talking about the test pipe and back. . . not touching anything around downpipe.

The test pipe won't be as easy as you think as the bolts/nuts are a pain to remove on the stock cat the 1st time u do it. The rest of the exhaust is actually easier to remove. The key there is to spray lubricant into the rubber bushings so you can easily pull off the exhaust hangers.

so is the catback relatively easily removed ? I replace stock parts for warranty purposes. I dont mind having to undo bolts as long as I dont have to mess with sawing / welding / cutting . . . Basically my question is, can I install a catback and replace it with stock myself without making a big mess?

Absolutely - I'd rate it a 3 out of 10 on the difficulty scale with a DP re/re a 9.
