Tools/Supplies:
8mm
13mm
17mm
T30 or T35
Copper High Temp Anti-seize
Swivels and extensions
From under the hood:
Unplug O2 sensor
Remove 2 bolts holding DP in place
Loosen the Vband clamp
From under the car:
DP to exhaust clamp
Bolts holding exhaust up
Allegedly the hardest part is slipping the catback clamp on the downpipe when installed. Removal of the right wheel might make life easier.
Does the above sound right? Do I need any gaskets? If so, part number/vendor? I'm not crazy about the JB4 auto code clearance. Can someone recommend an O2 spacer that works?

I recently had a friend of a friend install mine, it didn't take long, but we only ran into one issue. I have a 6MT Xdrive and also got the ER DP. The size of the DP was bigger where the cat ends and thus it was hitting some sort of brace. We shaved off some of the brace (very small amount) to keep it from contacting and vibrating. Painted over it as well to prevent rust. Other than that, everything else was fine.
Edit: sorry just noticed you were going with VRSF. But I believe they are both sized the same.
