You'll probably run into issues with the stock nuts and bolts being rusty. Spray a ton of PB Blaster or something similar on them and let them sit for a while. You can also use a torch or just take it to a local mechanic and have them cut off.

It literally bolts right on. You just need to unbolt the stock pipe and swap in the new one. You will need 3 new gaskets (2 for the downpipes from the cats and one for the outlet pipe to the midpipe. You should also replace the nuts and bolts.

Although the Y pipe is under the car, it is fairly accessible. Nothing catashropic would happen if they did end up leaking - you'd just have to crawl back under the car, take 2 bolts out and replace it. It's not like you'd have to dissasemble the engine to get to them.

Well, still looking for a HR y-pipe and I've found a number of people selling the whole 350Z HR exhaust setup but...
I am curious if anyone knows if the muffler on the 07-08 HR 350Zs is the same as the one that is on the 06-07 (revup) 6mt G coupes?
I don't expect any performance increase but maybe a beefier exhaust note could be attained.
