Do you mean, the entire exhaust system or just the muffler?

Read other posts for (bad) opinions on non-MB cats, but as far as the muffler is concerned, it is a dirty nasty job but it can be done with ramps (and other safety measures), a dremel, and of course a muffler, NEW, MB (only) rubber hangers (with wire inside), the proper seals (the two are different) and some sweat. You will probably need a tailpipe expander. I bought an Ansa and although it was a very good price, the paint keeps flaking off. I just couldn't swing an expensive OEM or stainless muffler.

I needed the Dremel and tiny cutoff wheel attachment to get the old muffler off of the cat pipes. Because there are two pipes in parallel twisting alone can't be done.
