Should only take an hour at most - couple of spanners, hacksaw and a bit of elbow grease. I had mine done in 40 mins - and I'm a complete novice - took me longer to pluck up the courage to start hacking the 'stock' can off.!

It arrived yesterday!

But I had to send it back due to it not being the carbon fibre one I'd orderd!

Life gets better & better!

now that is annoying.... you get all excited only to have it ripped away because someone can't read order forms!

hopfully they might put a rush on it and send it next day.... if not shout and make them do next day!!

hope it gets sorted quick

Far safer using a hacksaw. Grinder sparks can mark your paintwork.

Mke sure your hacksaw has a new blade and it should take no more than a few minutes to saw through. It really is a piece of **** to fit. Took me all of half an hour.

Wee tips for you

1 place a cable tie or piece of masking tape round the exhaust as a cutting guide.
2 leave the sealant for 5-10 mins to grab before you crank up the engine
