Yeah, Jotech charged me 2 hours labor to do it, and it took every single minute of it to get it done.

Holy crap... I had some Mexican guy (not trying to be racist) do it for $80, he TRIED WD40 and (the other one) but since the guy was ghetto as hell and had a full muffler/repair shop he took his acetylene torch heated the nuts/bolts, sprayed water on them. Job done, you could undo the bolts by hand, lol

To test pipes being difficult! It's not getting to them, its the initial removal of the 'demon bolts'!

yes I will never forget the experiance me and my friend at work had at this, i got to his house at about 10 am, we took our time and did a cat back+swapped out for HFC. we didnt know what we were getting into, but luckily we are both jet engine mechanics and know a few tricks. we had it done in about three hours, and that was taking a break to eat some lunch. All in all im pretty happy with it, the combo I have sounds great and i would do it all over again.

I just did mine not too long ago. Did it all by myself (on a lift) and it took all of about 4.5 hours (with cleanup). I am very happy with the loudest damn Z east of the mississippi and I love the smell as well. Trying to figure out a tune solution so I can make the CEL go away.. I drove it 10 hours to NC and noticed that when the CEL was thrown it actually idles correctly as opposed to idling at 700rpms.

My short start up and idle video right after install.

I did the test pipes with myself and a friend. Took about six hours, on two jackstands. Also replaced the Y pipe.

Extremely loud. I'll try to find my videos. I highly recommend you get a resonated test pipe set or HFCs. They'll get rid of the 3000 RPM rasp.
