i heard the screws are pretty hard to get off 'cos of rust and all that. But if you can manage that, i don't see other hard stuff besides welding (if you need to)

Soak the nuts on the catyletic with liquid wrench do this for a good 20 mins or so keep it lubricated. Hammer it a few times. Then proceed to un tighten it with a socket. If it still wont come out soak it with liquid wrench again repat the process till its easy to loosen! You can always go to a muffler shop and have them install it for like 125 max or so give or take! hope this helps but it is a pretty easy DIY!

A good penetrating lubricant such as liquid wrench, wd40, or PB Blaster is your friend here. Along w/ a torch b/c that makes removing rusted on bolts even easier, an air gun, and you'll need the specialized socket for removing your 02 sensors. Also, when you put the 02 sensors back in, put some anti-seize on the threads.
