you should just be able to bolt off your stock n put the HKS one one...if i remember correctly you use a sz 14 socket wrench either 12 or 14 i dun remember, its been a while.

I don't own a jack let alone stands. Might go get a good jack, you think I'll need stands too?

Jackstands and a wrench...and few minutes time. The rubber hangers come off pretty easy with a shot of WD.

Not much to it...

I ordered mine from Japan, ??????????????? FIT

Seems they rate it 82db for auto and 90db in manuals.
Do you have any sound clips of your set-up?

the second two videos posted a while back are mine and that was before it was broken in but it really isn't noticeably louder. i love mine because it stays pretty quiet but has a nice deep tone. it can get pretty loud after getting off interstate though haha
