downpipe is easy to install as long as you have the car lifted off the floor a good 2ft-3ft

did you do it on jacks or lift?

Jacks, the higher the better! I actually just did it this weekend after I put my downpipe back on. The stock downpipe has a lot of bend to it with the flex pipe portion so its easy to install and remove.

i struggled doing it, alone but it's doable. yep jack it high as you can go, i found success in basically pulling it toward the rear passenger side and twisting around as it came out. new one was not bad at all because they aren't as bulky.

You will need a special o2 sensor socket from a local parts store, fair warning cause i didn't know but you just cant get it out with normal wrenches where it's placed on the stock DP.
