My dad installed it while I was at work (see, for two previous weekends i'd been helping him with his car, so he decided to throw it without me).

From what he said, the hardest part was getting the old exhaust out (just cut it out). Also getting the pipe over the axle is a little tricky.

The '98 catbacks hang loosely so they recommend radiator clamps...I haven't done this yet, he just used wedges which seem to hold so far.

Another problem is that while the catback is stainless the rest of the pipe before that is not. Mine is rusted and hard to clamp the new stainless over the old rusted crap, so far its come loose once. I'm going for a better clamp if it comes loose again.

Other than that it was easy :D ;)

I love the sound at idle and up to 3500, today someone at work asked me if it had a 350. He looked a little surprised when I said no, just a 3.8. :D . (to me it sounds like a weaker version of a 5.0 stang) But anything above 3500 Rpm or so still sounds like a 4 banger, i think all of the systems for our cars do.
