Question about "Complete Dual Exhaust kit", Jegs

I was looking over Jeg's website, and I noticed that these was a section for Complete Dual Exhaust Systems... I clicked on it, and 70-81 Camaro's have a kit! You get to chose between two different series of mufflers, get all the piping and stuff it seems, and it's only 99.99! What I am actually here to ask if I could install this myself or would an exhaust shop still be needed? If they didn't charge outrageous amounts, I'd just take them two mufflers and tell them I want them under my car... BUT! The labor on that is more than the price of the mufflers at the two local exhaust shops (and I know one is a thief, and the other isn't really all that good of a welder). Just wondering anywayZ, here is the URL:

I installed one of the systems from JC Whitney for a 70-81 on my old 69. You'll have to cut the tailpipes because they are a little long, but I was able to get it to fit pretty well by myself. I went with the exhaust manifold kit and then ended up adding headers later and just cut the headpipes to fit the headers. For the price I think it was a good dual exhaust. I would recommend getting a mandrel bent setup for maximum air flow.

I also installed that kit on my old camaro, went on very easy. Just take your time to adjust everything right so it looks good and does not rattle

It's not that hard at all. If you have a torch you can make easy connections. I did it on my 78 TA and it only took a saturday afternoon. Don't waste your money on the exhaust shop. Good Luck
