Ok i only took me 5 hours but it is done. Well to start with it will really help if you have the right tools.
Brecker bar
14mm socket
13mm deep socket
and crow bar

To start with i had to use one jack stand and on jack. not fun. So i start looking at the front part. no problem i think. Then i broke off a bolt head. going wrong way. make sure you go lefty lossy righty tighty. i got the next one off no problem. well besides the really on there part. on the next on i sripted it. Great job. So i bust out the old file and go to work. i filed down each side a bit and then witha extra 13mm socket and a hammer i got it on. then got that one off. next to the back. well you have to have really deep 13mm. some thing i did not have. so geuss what . it stayed on. i pulled the front part down and when to work. after many differnt tools come to find that the crow bar and a hammer works the best. i now have a bunch of bits and pecies of cat guts in it. so i bust out the vacumue. works wonders. after i i got it done i could barly wait to start it.
With it at idle you can't really hear a diffrence. but once you hit it oh man it is there. at high revs no rasp what so ever. just sounds great. i would recomend this to every one. hope you all can do it easyer then me.
Next it figuring out the flamethrower part laugh eek

On my '99 SE the noise didn't go up in Db level, it went down in tone. Power is up in low RPM TQ and high end flow.
