Wow, 6 hours sounds like a long time for an exhaust install! But hey, at least it's on and at least you're happy with the results! For anyone else that's wary of doing it on their own, don't be. I did mine in less than two hours using jacks and jack stands, and I was taking my time too. If you have the right tools and have experience doing this, it'll definitely make it less frustrating.

I had mine up on ramps with the old exhaust off waiting for the new one. Install took about an hour.

Finally got my Berk done today... took just under 3 hours. I didn't have any leaks, if I did I know it would have taken an extra hour or two!

I used the rear center lift point to lift the back and used jack stands on both side rear jack points after putting the front wheels on a couple 2"x6"s I had in garage. Both front tires chalked at both ends.

For me, getting the stock CBE system was easy, I was able to use my 2' breaker bar on all the bolts and my foot to gently apply pressure to the bar for the tuff ones, those being the cat > Y pipe nuts.

The hardest part was lining up the muffler to the resonator pipes, using my jack to lift the muffler into position helped there.

The jack was also handy in holding the X pipe up while attaching the X pipe to the cats and the resonator pipes.
