Just let down the back of the back seat, place exhaust inside, drive up to your local auto shop and have them install it. Have a cup of coffee and read a car magazine. They will have it installed before you finish your cup of coffee. Pay them about $35, then drive around and be amazed as to how much faster your car is (or at least sounds). No tools, no laying on a cold , hard concrete floor, no skinned knuckles ….. humfrz |

i'll be the first helpful poster (depending on how many people post while i'm typing)
if you ever want to swap back, there's an amazing tool to help remove exhaust hangers. these pliers are totally worth the cost. basic hand tools needed otherwise. buy the tools, and be the exhaust-install-guru on your block, charge $35 each time, and pay off your new pliers on install 1. (check amazon for the plier) look up exhaust hanger pliers |

I'm a noob at mods and I installed the N1 all by myself.
I used WD40, ratchet and spanner. I put the car up on self made wooden/brick ramps. The most difficult bit is getting the OEM exhaust off the rubber brackets that hold it. That's where you need WD40 and to push the brackets/mounts side to side to losen them up. Everything else is pretty easy to figure out. I installed the N1 in sections, losely connecting them to the hangers and each other before aligning them and torquing them up. You have to re-use the OEM gasket and bolts/springs that connect to the cat (the very front of the section you'll be working on). I would advise having a 2nd person to help you, but it isnt necessary. |

I just do it by hand and no tool is needed if you use a lubricant on the hangers. |

Everybody else has basically covered everything. Most importantly take your time and don't rush as to make sure you do everything properly. If it takes you a little longer don't freak out. Everybody had to start and learn at some point so we've all been there. Good luck, have fun!

Back in the day, some of us learned when our cars were parked in the barn, on a dirt floor, with nothing for light but a kerosene lantern, below 0 degrees F, with snow blowing under the door, rats attacking our toes, using old, rusty monkey wrenches ......

My dad has all kinds of tools like that that you can't buy anywhere because my grandfather just made what he needed. My dad and brother just recently restored the lathe and have been making some of their own tools just for fun. |
