Default Exhaust install question

I'm installing a Cobb turboback exhaust system this weekend. I've got a fair amount of mechanical aptitude, although not on Subies. It looks very straight forward, but any tips / tricks / advice?
Thanks

It's pretty straightforward. Just use all new gaskets and follow the service manual procedure for torquing the downpipe to the turbo to prevent leaks.

Franz (username LetItRev) did his cobb exhaust a few months ago, send him a message he should be able to give you advice.

remove all nuts and bolts off the stocker and then pull it off the hangers put the cobb together but dont tighten leave loose until you hang on hangers under the car then tighten from downpipe(cat) back
