Have someone else support it or use something as for it may drop on you (ouch, speaking from experience)

New exhaust, take the front section and install it with the nuts on a few threads. Hang the muffler on the rubber hangers. Solo comes with an extra support for the center of the car in the tunnel. You will need to hold up the exhaust to the car to see which nut you need to take off to install the bracket for the new hanger. install the other sections with the clamps one and snug them up. Once the who exhaust is mildly tightened up, tighten the CAT bolts and install the O2 sensor. Make sure you twist it counter clockwise before inserting the O2 sensor so that when it is tightened, the wire isn't twisted.

Tighten up the rest after you install the tip and check for allignment.

Thanks that really helps! Just the info I am looking for from the valuable members on here.
