You can do it yourself, it's VERY easy. Just lube up the rubber hangers with some WD-40 first and the old and new muffler will slide off/on easier. Making the tip centered in the hole in the bumper is a little tricky. Just keep the clamp from the axle pipe and the muffler pipe a little snug so you can move it up and down and in and out until your tip is centered. You will re-use the stock bolts to connect the cat back pipe to the NEW Borla axel pipe (and NO there is no nuts, it screws right into the plate of the Borla pipe. I would also keep the plastic wrap on the tip until you are finished to protect it incase you drop it. But do remember to remove it once your done.If you need pics I can get them for you.

I have the borla. LOVE IT. Love the sound, love the performance, install was easy. I don't know anything about the other brand, but i would find it hard to believe that anything is better than my borla! Just my opinion!

But having a bassani would be more original and make you stand out from the pack.

I havent change mine yet, though I've dreamed about it millions of hours lol, and looked at the underside of the car countless times and while installing my underbody, it doesn't seem all the hard actuallly. I hope you can get it...theres nothing more upsetting than looking forward to a car part and than not getting it It took a while for me to get my underbody kit ENJOY -=Paul=-
