Help with WRX downpipe install?

[pearl]

I'm looking to get my stage 2 reflash done ASAP. I have off all day thursday until 7pm. I was quoted to have it installed for me at a shop.

I've never installed anything besides springs on a WRX, and I'm not too famliar with it. I have done motor swaps, clutches, all that stuff on my old hondas, so I know how to turn a wrench.

Would anybody with a warm garage and some nice tools want to help me out? If it was spring I'd do it in my driveway, but I don't like 13 degree weather.

Food, Beer, Money, whats up?

You will be surprised how easy it is Pearl. You need a hand or so to help with the lower nut on the downpipe, you'll know which one i mean when you get to it.

I'm sure its easy, but its cold :(
if i cant find anything ill probably just have the shop do it.

Its pretty easy to do man. Just need to jack up the front end of the car. I removed my whole exhuast system in a little under an hour by myself with the car on jacks.
