Search there was a thread about this.
Most importantly though soak the o2 sensors with pb blaster. Crack them loose adding more pb and tighten. Do this a lot, each time backing more out and adding more pb. If not you may strip the threads (they are m18x1.5mm) Mine had 3000 miles and they were a b****.
Other than that its straight forward really. I did it on my back (no lift) with a catback in 4 hours I think.

Oh yeah the o2 wire connectors are over the drivers side axle or some wacky spot also. Undo them from underneath before you unscrew the sensor.

Use a half inch drive impact gun with a swivel and semi deep 14mm to break the 5 turbo bolts loose as they are really tight and a ratchet or wrnch will most likely round them.

I have it, along with the Protege Garage Race Pipe. (idhitit)

The combo made a HUGE difference with my car.
 
Are there any CELs when doing these downpipes and test pipes? Or is there a O2 simulator or something (for the test pipe)???

O2 trick in the second o2 sensor on the downpipe. The car doesn't moniter the cat in the test pipes anyway.
 
I got mine instaled today took me 2-1/2 to 3 hours. The but dyno tells me that it made a little difference, that means I need to get the racing cut out soon.
 
cel = idiot light = check engine light whatever you want to call it. I havent had any problems with second o2 sensor yet. No you dont have to drop the crossmember however you need to drop the cross bracing.
 
damnn my light just came on last night code p0139 second o2 sensor ahhhhh o well ill reset it see how long it takes the second time.
