All should be relatively simple if you're mechanically inclined. Might have some difficulty w/ the high flow cats because of space constraints & the bolts. Other than that it should be no problem.

Have an exhaust shop or tech put tech cats on. If you car has a few thousand miles on it the bolts will be hard to remove. Everything else you have is easy to install.

These are all things that you can do yourself. The only 2 that you will have problems with are the Pulley and the Cats. The pulley bolt is a bitc# to remove and the cats are difficult due to the extremely cramped working area (it took me close to 8 hours to do the cats myself with the car on jackstands).

Good Luck!

Cats are not that bad. Just get a long breaker bar and someone to help you tighten 2 bolts. Those two are easy to tighten if someone gets under the car and the other person gets to them from the top. You will need a 24" extension for the 2 bolts. I would estimate about 2-3 hours on the cats.

Pulley, I have not done.

Everything else loos easy.

Yeah, I guess 2 people would help on the cats install. I did it all myself which is why it took so long.
