Default cat back install

I'm purchasing the Apex'i WS cat back system, I'm just wondering if a novice to cars and their exhaust systems would bealbe to install it. If it's a simple bolt-on or if it needs welding? or any special tools...

Thanks in advance

hangers into the rubber... Not sound like a total idiot what do you mean? I imagine I'll understand when I'm doing it but just to prevent mishap...

You think they come with directions? probably not right

It might come with directions. The hangers are of course the thing that hang off of the muffler and the B-pipe.
On the chasis there are also hangers and both the hangers attach to the existing rubber that your stock exhaust used.

Hey thanks spade...
a friend of mine warned me about doing it myself due to parts/bolts rusting and being locked... Is this a decent concern or are most of those area's O.K.? i really have no experience with this stuff and want to get some. I also don't want to pay to do this...

Just keep in mind you may need to go get a spare bolt or two at the hardware store.
But being you are driving a 6th gen, rust isn't too big of a concern.
