Question Bassani install?

I was just wondering if it's possible to install a bassani catback in my own driveway, or if it's better just to get an exhaust shop to do it? If so, what's a fair price for an install? Thanks!!

DO IT YOURSELF
I did mine in my driveway in 3 hours total. That includes removing the old system. It requires only somple hand tools and fits like a glove I couldn't be happier. How does that saying go........."you get what you pay for"

I paid someone to do mine. I watched him do it and I sure wouldn't want anything to do with removing the old system without a lift. Thirty years ago I would have done it in the driveway. But not now Figure on paying around two hours labor.

just get some ramps for the front and jackstands for the rear and there is plenty of room under the truck to work then take a jack and support the trans and drop the trans support that will make the job so much easier

now i'm in good shape,, but it took me maybe 2 hours total to do the install and removal, and all i used were ramps for the rear wheals,,,, it seemed like the ground effects were too low to stick ramps underneath without scratching them. All i did was use two people, one of us pulled at the stock system while the other guy wiggled it. The longest time i spent was drilling an extra hole in the hanger, and cutting the spacers down to size,, something i should have never had to do , they sent me the wrong two parts and i made them fit
