a page on the brilliant website www.steve.ukmail.org - I believe this is the hero responsible for ecutek!! Great site, lots of dyno's and stuff on his car. Check it out!
"Fitting these bits was a breeze compared with the down pipe. All you need are 12mm & 14mm spanners & a couple of ramps. I started at about 6.30pm and finished by 8pm with the back of my car reversed onto ramps in the front of my garage - it was dark outside, but I couldn't wait"
But personally, I'd pay someone to fit it for me

Dan,
it's a simple job mate. if you don't have a good enough jack, find a high curb to drive up onto, it might be a tad tight underneath, but it's not as bad as having the car on the ground!

just fitted mine, and apart from seveir sholder ache (getting old 
) it went fine .. apart from 1 bit!
my center didnt have a concave section at the front to take the dounut on the d/p !!
anyone else had this problem ?
I believe the haward&scott (ex scoobysport) ones DO. but mine didnt!
anyway - filled the gaps with gum-gum & tightened it all up. seems ok & no leaks. but was just wondering 'is this right' ??
cheers

Not long at all mate. I would have said alot less than 1.5 hours! We put my downpipe on, then put all the original exhaust back on as we didnt think the mid arrived. Then found out it did so whacked it on the ramp, exhaust came off no problem and new one went on. Think it only took about 30 mins if that!
Edited cause i cant spell
