easy to put it on m8, i have done it not noing hardly what to do!!!!
you need to take the bolts off the pipe on a U axle. chuck the old clamp away and screws, buy a new clamp.
hammer the old back box away from the system with force!!! you will need to get under your car and get a sledge hammer to whack it. be carefull not to do too much tho!
then slide the new 1 on with a new clamp and screws, screw up and put the rubber housing thingies on the hooks near the bumper back on
easy!!!!!

it comes off with force, its well stuck on try and put a chistle in the end of the back box and tap it gently and then keep knocking it!!!!

It took me 5 hours of hard work to shift my old exhaust off.
I then realised i didn't have a new clamp for the new one so i took it to kwik fit (with no back box on) who charged me £10 to fit my new one.

how much would it cost me to get someone elses power flow system fitted to my car do you reckon?
i.e. if I went to ATS or something with the system and my car and said can you fit this...
surely its just a case of them putting some brakets in and stuff?
