I'm already a 12 step junkie. There is but no hope for me. I am just replacing the slip on portion this time around so I figure maybe an hour tops. For the full system it takes maybe 3 hours or so depending on who does the isntall. When I put mine back on after I did the new heads I forgot to check for clearance for my shift linkage with my foot clutch as the set up is far from stock and the clamp fpr teh rear pipe was blocking the linkage from going into first gear. That is the biggest pain of the whole install, that 1 clamp for the left side cross over pipe. I rode without 1st gear for 2 days until I conned a friend into fixing it for me with free beer.

I am thinking about selling the 36"'ers but also think they might look nice hung on my living room wall.
