Not as bad as it's made out to be - as long as no bolts break/nuts round...

I rate it as a 2.5-3. I also did downpipe (had a frozen nut) and engine mounts at the same time so perspective might be skewed. Removing the O2 sensor was a little difficult. I'd reccomend doing the downpipe at the same time to save duplication (plus you'll love the additional oomph).

This next to hi po tires, is probably the biggest must do mod. Don't let difficulty get in the way, it's not that bad (helps to have a buddy) also helps reading and rereading both Shiv's and Perrins instructions. The quickened spool, lower egts, removing the threat of the cat disengrating and the extra ponies make this mod a must IMO.
