Anyone want to help me install a few things?

I know this might sound like a noob help request. But I'm not familiar with cars, but I DO want to learn. I'm going to have a HKS Hi-Power exhaust pipe coming sometime between now and mid-July and possibly a HKS UP. I live in Hercules, so I can get around just about anywhere around the bay (minus the South Bay) to anyone willing to help. My 03 WRX is stock, so anyone out there willing to help out a I'll be really grateful! Depending on how many want to come out and help I'll provide some food and some "drinks" depending what you guys are feeling like.

Hahahah u would be surprise at who is 420 friendly.. =)

The catback install will be a easy one... The up-pipe on the other hand does take a little more effort.

Ok, I just got a Skunk2 exhaust megapower RR on ebay. So it should be arriving either by this weekend or sometime early next week. Is anyone free around that time to help me install my new exhaust ? Thanks!

Car Info: nothing
installing a dp on an 03 wrx shouldn't be that hard. my 06 was hard b/c there are a lot of bolts that are hard to get to on the heat shield. So you have to have a good selection of tools to get to some of them(I'm not sure how many bolts are on the 03 wrx)

Other then the heat shield it's cake.

cat-back is a breezeee

Yeah, still would like some help especially since I've never been under my car, don't have the slightest clue about installing these kinds of things. But I do want to learn, so I can help my other friends with their future cat back installation needs

taking off the heatshield was the hardest part for me :x
having the right tools really change everything. what saved me was ratcheting rench to take the bolts off the turbo/dp.

Alright guys, my CBE is arriving very soon and I'm getting pretty anxious to install it and see it go. So I know it's been awhile and I've asked several times, but is anyone free THIS weekend? Fri, Sat, or Sun all day? I just need a few EXPERIENCED helping hands and the required tools (I have no idea what I need). Let me know, as for 420 donations, I can help out in that department. PM me

BTW: I also need help installing some LEDs onto the side lights, the light below the blinkers and next to the headlights.
