Default Borla Catback - Anyone install it themselves on S4 B5?

Well the subject says it all. I got a pretty good deal online, and -the video of the install on a Chevy looks like a hal hour job with power tools. The local shop wants $200 - I'm thinking a few bolts and I'm $200 closer to intercoolers. Anyone try this install?

Not on borla but me and 2 other friends put his AWE on his S4 with just normal floor jacks and it took like hour 15 to hour half. If you got acess to a lift you could do it VERY quick and easy. Ide say DIY and even if it takes half a day, you still have $200 in your pocket.

I installed a Borla exhaust when I did my downpipes and since have pulled the exhaust and put it back on several times. It is very easy work, just get some PB Blaster for the rusty bolts.

$683 at super exhaust warehouse no shipping. Best I could find: www.superexhaust.com

It was easy to put in! Thanks all and it sounds great. Not exactly stealth anymore, who cares?
