DIY muffler install

I'm about to order the Ractive bolt on exhaust and I was thinking I could put it on myself, would it be the same as the magnaflow DIY or different because the magnaflow is cat back and the ractive isn't?

I'm guessing you would need some help from a muffler shop. For one thing, the stock piping and muffler are all welded together. If you have experience in welding and cuting that piping then, by all means, go for it. Otherwise, you may need help. The Magnaflow DIY won't work.[hr]
I think your just thinking of a universal exhaust that he has to weld on if its a catback I don't think there is any welding that has to be done. I might be wrong.

yeah the muffler is a bolt-on made specifically for our cars...it just replaces the stock muffler, no welding involved...
