Its easy enough mate, 13mm socket and thats about all you need.
depending on the state of your original one maybe a new rubber wotsit to hang it off and maybe a new clamp to secure the join between the system and the back box.
Shove some exhaust paste stuff round the joint to seal it.
thats about it i think.
Piece of piss to do mate!!!

+ loads of wd40 to get the old one off

Spray WD40 the day before you try to get the back box off

spray WD40 about an hour before you intend to work on it, spray it the day before itll evaoprate before you come to do it!!!!!!!

especially if you drive itll just burn off!!!

Also a Large Hammer. If the old one is a bastard to come off use the large hammer to vent your anger when it's least expecting it.

I know that, but it will loosen it up to take off the next day.
