yeah the exhaust is simply a matter of taking a few bolts off and putting them back on. Springs....well i hope you ahve a lift or multiple jack stands because from reading the How To: article from Skunk2 on the springs...doesnt seem simple at all. Good luck on your project though

the Tanabe should be an a-back....so all you'll prolly need is 12mm socket to take off the stock bolts and jacks. If its a catback. than youll also need a 14mm socket to take off the pipings leading into the catalytic converter and from there you jsut put on the new exhaust. I may be a bit off though as im trying to think off the top of my head to what was under my car when i pulled my exhaust off.

It is an axel back so you should be able to do it in 1/2 an hour-1hour.

You live in San Fran, Home of N-1 Concepts. The same guys featured in Super Street for their K24 Widebody Fit... you're in the prime area to be a Honda Fit Owner.

Well that's good, automatics tend to drone a lot more then manuals so consider yourself lucky it's not too loud!
