I would start by unbolting the axle back section from the b pipe, then remove the axle back section from the hangers, then proceed to unbolt the bpipe and remove it from its rubber hangers as well, then install the new exhaust in reverse order

I hope this helps... I would haved scanned it in but it was quicker just to sketch it on the comp. Its a relatively simple set up.
good luck

hey bud i just installed this its totally self explanitory and simple all you need is a socket wrench and a 12mm and 14mm socket the rest is DIRECT REPLACEMENT. the hardest part is getting hangers undone. have a friend there. honestly you dont need a diy just go under the car and it should make sence. and if it doesnt you gotz no business moding your car :P good luck man give it a try you wont hurt anything have fun.

I find that it makes getting these off so much easier if you spray some white lithium grease up onto the bracket for the hanger then use a large screw driver to pry the hanger off

Didn't want to start a new thread.

So undo 2 bolts that attach exhaust and B-pipe(?)

Pull off the rubber vibration/ hanger mounts.

Put new exhaust on rubber vibration/hanger mounts

Bolt new exhaust to B-Pipe with gasket between the 2.

Would I need a new gasket? Car has only 5K miles.

havent changed my exhaust much but i dont think you need a new gasket esp if youre just changing your axle back, theyre meant to go onto the oem exhaust and should be a perfect fit...
