When I install mine it took me about 6 hrs, by the time I checked and re-checked everything.

I have installed a few and it usually takes between 3-4 hours to install. Remember, the set up is the key. If it is even slightly out of adjustment it will do more harm than good as it will place stress on bushings and thus, create a preload condition which can make the car "crab walk." Getting the static setting correct is what everybody seems to get wrong.

I find that the one thing that most people F up the first time the install a panhard...
They drill the holes too low and leave a large gap between the bottom of the chassis tube and the top of the "U" on the panhard chassis mount.
If you install it meticulously, no gap will be present.
Expect a full day to do it if you are working in the garage with hand tools.
You could probably do it in 4-6hrs if you do it a 2nd time.

the thing that helped most when I did mine was I got the rear of the car up as high as possible on truck jack stands and pulled the catback, stock catback might work but my 2.5" dynomax one was a big PITA until I pulled it.

Typically you'd run dumps with a PHB setup unless you start cutting and welding your pipes that go over the axle...its a tight fit. Good luck ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

Or side exhaust like I did...
But yeah, you probably can't keep your rear exhaust.

I couldn't keep my rear exhaust, so I went with dumps.
I've never had a problem with exhaust fumes in the inside even in stop and go traffic.

my 2.5" dynomax catback fits fine, I just had to adjust the pipes a little.
