well what you getting full system? you will need wd40 to loosen and to spray on the rubber hangers so they slide on and off easy, a spanner and socket set and screw drivers and a hammer just to gently tap the exhaust off the turbo. Just make sure the car is safe when its in the air :happy2:
-
will be cat back only, not getting DP till next year :smiley: any easier :party:
-
yeh as above, be safe, the hardest part is/ can be getting the old parts off as the clamps can squash the pipes making them hard to remove, bit hammer should sort though :happy2:
i think i would pay someone to do mine just for the safety side, and its bloody cold out :grin:

slightly easier as the downpipe bolts can get stuck in

Should not be too much of a job Joe. The rear bumber is easy to remove I did it a few times on my last MKV, its only a ten minute job. As long as the standard cat back comes off ok it will not take you long at all! :happy2:

I've removed both front and rear bumpers and I'd suggest removing the rear bumper completely, it's not a hard job, and you will find it a lot easier to separate the top half from the bottom half, so you can fit the R32 lower valance.
