marko, it's pretty easy, but there is a plastic lip towards the front of the fenderwell that needs to come off, don't force anything, all you need is the phillipshead and a flathead for the plastic screws....

you can also pull off the fog light cover on the STi for easy access to unscrew the stock silencer.

some people have said no, but i did, and took off the tire to get to it easier. i heard someone say the turned the wheel all the way to the right, but jack it up, and its soo much easier to do the job. did you finish the install yet???

Ya It's Cool To Leave It. I'm Still Deciding Weather To Tape It Up Or Not. I Heard It Is Up To You For Asthetics (sp?) To Tape It Up Or Not. I Ran My Car On Saturday, No Problems Yet. Have Fun With The Install, And Maybe Test It On Wed. Nite Hrp???
