Default Fitting Ninja Back Box - DIY or not - Any advice

Having followed the various threads, it has got to be done. Ordering back box on Monday.

Rather than have a Kwik Fit experience - any advice on a DIY fit?

Best way to approach, order of doing things....

New gasket or old....

Thanks

Didnt even have mine on ramps when I did mine , just depends on how easy it is to undo the bolts. Just spray plenty of wd40 on them, should be ok. If its a fairly new car the original gasket will be fine.
Putting some grease on the supports before you put them in the rubber hangers will make that job easier.
Turn the car on and enjoy the lovely sound your car now makes

Done mine in 30 mins, drove the car up onto the kerb to give me a bit more room underneath and 30 mins later had a lovely sounding exhaust.
PS. the Ninja comes with a new gasket.

Dont forget your exhaust cement, avaiable at every car shop, so the gasket doesnt develop leaks
