Who wants to help install a catback?

just bought a tanabe exhaust from josh and now i want to install it! my stock exhaust is pretty rusty so i know bolts will break. so if someone who has experience could help, thatd be great. i have basic tools but no drills or anything. plus i dont have a spot to do the work unless the auto hobby shop works, so maybe we could try another install day if someone can host? i on hickam cant buy beer yet, but i could buy food! this weekend or next weekend works. let me know!

Why not try yourself only 2 bolts and a few hangers

Hobby shop will do just fine. Just go on a drive on lift if ya can make it up and PB Blaster the bolts(or wd40), sit for a minute, wrench(or impact) the bolts.

If these free up just fine then your only struggle will be the hangers as they like to be a Pain in the buns to take the muffler out and put in. I usually have a little grease laying around buy brute strength is fine.
Depending on what's going on at the time I may be able to help. If I do no worries on beer as I have grown out of the drinking game for now
