Test pipes are pretty cake man, all you need are jacks and jack stands. They have like 10 bolts total. 3 front 2 back per side. With the tools and stand should be like an hour maybe two if you are taking your sweet A$$ time.

Common you can do it.

I was actually laying ontop of my engine to bolt on the driver's side test pipe. I had to stick my arm all the way down to the test pipe from the firewall just to reach my rachet. I think the bolts i used were too skinny, so now it rattles a lot. I don't want to go through that trouble again, so i need someone with a little more experience to do it this time. AND the right tools and extensions. Alslo trying to fit both sides of the y-pipe onto the test pipes are f*cked up... Is it just my Z, or did everyone else's car have that problem?
