Message	Stubby Wrenches are a must. The driver side is the more difficult side. I ended up cutting the drivers side factory down pipe to give me more room. Reciprocating saw with diablo blade made short work of it. The passenger side you can get the top bolts from the top. The drivers side not so much. Also you'll probably need to go ahead and buy two new O2 Sensors. The heat shields are also going to be a PITA. Most likely the bolts holding them on rusted and will round off. A pry bar ender them to rip them then with gloves bend the metal back and forth until it breaks off. SRC="http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc22/SleeperTT/av- 969.gif">
