catback question, 96 DX hatch

I am considering purchasing a Tsudo N1 cat back exhaust for my civic. I am an electrical person, and have not done much in the way of engine/exhaust work. how grueling is the installation on one of these,and would I need anything else for the installation other than the cat back system itself? it is a non-vtech engine. am I going to need to remove the O2 sensors to install it? what advice can you all give me?

duplicate posting, would not let me post a link.

If it is a catback, your o2 sensors should be fine. IIRC there is one on the manifold and one on the cat?

It is a no brainer, you have three bolts on the cat. 14mm i believe, you have two to seperate the rear section, and then 5 rubber hangers. Install is reversed.

Good luck, hope you have ear plugs!

it has a silencer, hopefully I wont need them. If I dont like it, I will just sell the axle back portion and throw a recirculating muffler on it.
