DIY side exhausts removal/installation

Hi there,

I have a 997.2 C4S

I did the installation of the Sharkwerks bypass pipe by myself. Car was on the floor, but it took me 3 hours to do this work (I did everything with ease, it's my car !). The most time consuming part was the upper nut on both sides, as it needed to be removed with an angle socket

I will be getting TUBI side mufflers this week and want to do the installation by myself.

For the experienced guys:

- Is it easier, same or more difficult to do than the bypass pipe ?
- Do I have easy access to the side mufflers if I remove the rear wheels ?
- Are there no difficult angles like the upper nut on each side of the bypass pipe ?

I would love to do the work on my own, get more engaged with my car and the saved money spend it on gas

vrnkc is infamous around these parts
Yes, remove the rear tires!! Easier access to the bracket that holds the muffler.
