Cat back install question... - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

How hard is it to install a cat-back? Can it be done by a monkey with some tools? Cause that's how easy it needs to be for me to do it. Or should I take it somewhere and have it put on professionally? I think I'm going to order the MagnaFlow Ti pretty soon... I want some sound!

It's super easy, ask Franz.

It's darn easy. One hour tops from start to finish. This includes getting out from under the car at least three times to see why the dog was barking. (She doesn't like other dogs pissing on "her" lawn).

I am a novice, at best, with the wrenches. I have a basic craftsmen mechanics tool set. This was all I needed. (Remember you need metric sockets, wrenches etc).

Get yourself some ramps or jack stands and you're in business.

Your milleage may vary. Good Luck!
