    They're really not that bad, I did it in an hour or less by myself and I'm slightly physically disabled.

    Word of advice, have someone help you reinstall the cowl.

    110% cowl mounts lol trust me, I had to do it alone and didn't realize the magnitude of reinstalling the cowl buy myself. It's a very precise fit.

    who knew buying an exhaust system could be so stressful lol I want it to sound good but I do not want any annoying drone. ive seen a few people say that with long tube headers + URD Y pipe + TRD exhaust it gets really raspy. I don't have headers but just figured I would let u know since u said u r putting headers on, tho u have the stock y pipe which might help with the raspyness

    most the time when I drive it, I'm usually heading on a good 1/2 hour to hour and a half drive so the drone would get annoying hahaha

    Yeah I could see that. I like the Trd by itself but wish it was a bit louder sometimes. Because I have a Napoleon complex...

    I have the cherry bomb vortex which is the quietest cherry bomb but I still get the drone at high RPM on the high way (why I'm trying to get a lighter bumper) I also may be looking into the headers
