I did my own install and have what I consider to be "respectable" weekend warrior skills. Doing it on jackstands, figure on about DOUBLE the time you're thinking in your head right now... It's much more difficult bending around to reach things vs. reaching UP if you had the car on a lift.
By no means is it impossible... In fact, it's not very tough, at all - just very time consuming. Also, take a look at my review on the cp-e pipes in my signature. There are a couple (2-3) decent pictures that may help get an idea of what you're going to be dealing with. Good luck and feel free to PM me if you have questions!

Thanks for the info guys! I think I will most likely have to take it in to a mechanic to get it installed. They are the Riss Racing Catless downpipes and have been waiting to get them installed until my service was done. Now that the service is out of the way, I am ready. Guess i'll look into a local mechanic. You say SoulSpeed, Matt?
