Fitting a new exhaust system on Puma 90

I have just purchased a new DPF back exhaust system from Twisted Automotive, would you say it is an easy DIY job to do, or am i better off taking it to a garage to get done...

I vote for easy.

Be prepared for Some rusted bolts and nuts. But if you replace the current system you can allways use the grinder

Easy DIY, refit with new nuts and bolts though!

If you did need a grinder you'd need a larger one too I'd have thought due to disc cutting depth.

A small one would be much more easier to use, but cutting depth wouldn't be right through.

Or carefully use a sabre saw, much less sparks etc $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R

All done. I used a jigsaw in the end to cut the back box off, but other than that it was a pretty straight forward job.. Needed to take the rear wheel off the allow the rear bend on the exit pipe through.
