It is easy if you have the tools. 4 bolts & 2 nuts per muffler. The trick is in fine tuning the gap between the exhaust tips and the bumper. This adjustment takes place where the muffler flanges meets the X pipe flanges.
I have done this a handfull of times now and it takes about an hour.

It's helpful to have a second person on hand to hep guide you with getting them straight .I kept tightening them down, getting out from under the car, back under to readjust ...ETC. It's pretty easy other than getting them straight. With someone "spotting" for you it shouldn't take more than an hour

i did mine on my back in my driveway, it was easy but ive done it a good few times now, but i agree, the most difficult/ time consuming part is getting the alignment correct, i used a tape measure on mine to get it absolutly perfect, i find it very satifying to know i didnt pay a tuner $$ to do somethink i can do just as well if not better.
