i bought one like two years ago but had to sell it for money a day after it came in, the thread is still on here
Oh, I remember seeing it now that you said something... Don't forget to pick up some M10-1,25 bolts (40mm long I think) and some matching nuts since you won't be able to re-use the ones on the bottom of the cat. A cat gasket and exhaust manifold gasket are a good idea just so you know that nothing is leaking...
And don't forget the O2/vacuum sensor socket, its very handy.

Now your homework assignment is to record audio/video of it and post it for us!
You should talk to XJCasper about that... Mine is already fully installed, and he is about to do his this coming weekend or the week after that.

I don't have anything to get a video/audio clip.
I think pictures would be plenty with a good write up. In all reality, it's as simple as taking off heat shield (3 bolts), taking out the o2 sensor (specialized socket is very helpful) taking off 10 nuts on to of the header, 12mm if I remember right, and three bolts at the bottom of the cat (four if you count the one that holds the bracket that holds the cat to the block, helps to take it out to remove the cat).
To install it, just reverse the process minus the heat shield, it doesn't go back on. And you will need to buy three M10-1,25x40mm books and some matching locking nuts for the bottom of the header and a gasket too seal it tight to the rest of the exhaust. It's simple, really. And mostly self explanatory.

Once I get it torn apart, gonna head to town and replace the upper bolts and lower nuts and bolts.
All of the gaskets had to be ordered and are now in. Might happen on my next weekend.
Upper bolts? There are only 10 nuts and 10 double-sided studs threaded into the block with one side and the other side is for the nuts holding the header.
