Just bought a Stillen full catback exhaust, some questions

I got this used for $400 bucks. What a steal!!
Exhaust systems hawaii wants $160 to install it.
Im going to just do it myself because Stillen's website says its an easy install.
Has anyone ever installed this? What tools and parts will i need?

I have an HKS and I'm in a similar perdicament; if I can find someone to install it for me for around $75 then I'd do it. But Altered Atmosphere and a few other shops around here were telling me $250, they must think I'm a complete idiot.

honestly, instaling an exhaust isnt that hard. the only thing i had installed on my g was the popcharger, ztube, and heatshield, and i managed to remove the OEM exhaust and put on my xo2 exhaust in a matter of 2 hours of straight work

It's not hard. Just make sure the bolts are nice and tight.

few sockets and a couple wrenches... maybe some vaseline will help a little too...

you may want to purchase some new gaskets before you start the install!
