Default sports downpie fitting instructions.

Hi all,
Has anyone found instructions on fitting a new downpipe and full exhaust system on a Fabia.
Have purchased the blueflame full system and want to fit the thing myself seeing as how much my local garage wanted to charge me for doing so. I have the space I have the tools I have the time, just no idea how to do.

Please advise of thread or site to look at.

thanks

Lol.
Get the rear of your car up on ramps, and remove the backbox. (when on ramps, put car in reverse and leave handbrake on at all times).
If you have a rollaboard then roll down towards the front of the car, if you havent got a rollaboard, then prepare for a skagged up back (or wear a jumper). Unbolt the cat+turbo downpipe.
Take some photos and get them on ebay. Someone will buy.
When fitting the exhaust you want to start at the turbo end and go backwards.

actually makes me out to be a pratt really doesn't it seeing as it seems that easy.
Suppose the bolts will not be a problem eithers as the car is not even 1 year old...

thanks for the info...
any more much welcome.

I see your going to fit the 312 brakes too. am just spraying mine up red to match the standard rears. also sprayed my ARB red too, just to add a little change... eibach springs will be good too later on as they are red too... see colour co-ordinated. not that that is what I am after but it helps the looks...
