Scorpion Owners...Install Question

For those of you who have done the install yourself. On a scale from 1 to 10 (ok with tools, but not great) how difficult if at all was the install?

Thanks for any input or suggestions.

I'd rate it a 5/10... the main tools that you need are an allen wrench and a ratchet/socket set. The directions are pretty straightforward... the hardest part was getting the clamp around the exhaust pipes - but other than that you'll be fine.

Pretty simple.

Just make sure you put the clamps on the mufflers before you put them on the pipe, instead of putting the clamps on the pipe and trying to get them on the mufflers after. You will see what I mean.

Re: Scorpion Owners...Install Question

If you take your time and make an effort to keep track of your parts, I'd rate it a 4/10 as far as difficulty.

I would give it a 3/10 if it wasn't a pain in the ass to align them to my liking and get the exhaust clamp over the pipe. Just taking bolts on and off etc.

I would agree with everybody saying the clamps are a pain to install, but after that, it's very easy. I would give the install a 4/10.
