Default Cat back exhaust installation

Hello

I have ordered a cat back exhaust and just wanted to get opinions on installation. I know there is a lot of good Subaru workshops out there, but is it necessary to go to one of them or could/should I get it down at a regular exhaust outlet.

Thanks

Cat back won't be too hard to install, granted that you can safely lift the car and get enough space underneath it to work with the basic tools.

Peter did some mods to my exhaust, top block, no bs attitude and was happy to take time to explain a few things whilst he was working on the car.

Had a custom Cat-Back fabricated and installed with a Cat-Less Downpipe there. Top guys and top quality.

I'll never go back to Mettams Morley who when they installed my dump pipe left the vehicle with the intercooler connecting piping damaged and leaking on boost.

Peter at Carline in Newcastle Street is well respected.
