Not hard, just time consuming. Tough to get to some of upper bolts (at the headers). A few of them are facing the engine, so you have to go up and around and there isn't much room. Definitely use some gloves or follow mofoz's suggestion.

I put them on and took them off the next day, made the exhaust way too loud and raspy sounding. Plus they sat too low and touched part of the frame by brining down the exhaust. Just my 2c
