I wouldn't try doing this in your driveway. You'd need pipe bending tools, O2 sensor wrench, some penetrating oil, a welder, and probably an impact wrench, and even if you have all this the manifold bolts are tough to do. If you want, buy the magnaflow direct fit cat (about $160 on summit), and a muffler you want, and take them to a shop, and have them put in the cat and custom make an exhaust (probably about $250-300 for labor max, cheaper than a pacesetter).

250-300 is pretty steep...down in elk valley (about an hour from here) I can get a full exhaust for 100 bucks..

Yeah, I did go a little high, but better that than I say something and he goes in and actually has to pay more.

Well here in the land where everything is over priced, it would be closer to $300 for a shop to do this.

I'm not sure what it would cost here, but not too bad, cause I got a true dual system put on an old Buick with the old crazy X-shaped frame for about 500, and that included mufflers.

I was at the shop down the street this week and I heard them charge someone $800 to put a new cat and resonator pipe on RAV4. Its crazy what they get away with here.

you could buy a welder and a pipe bender for less than that here...AND all the piping to do your own exhause...given you know how to weld an exhaust
