Remove and replace.
About the hardest part for me is getting the car high enough for my belly to clear.
Seriously..... a sawzall will help.
Just hack out the old system from the cat, back. You can actually cut the bolts that hold the old system to the cat since you should use new ones anyway. Those are the only bolts that are used. All the other stuff is supported by rubber hangers (if it's still stock).
It's VERY easy. Have fun and enjoy your Hooker. :sillylol:

Alright cool, I guess I need to get me a sawzall then 
But we will probably end up using a hacksaw. The bolts come with the new system right? They probably do. The only problem we might have is that he is getting a 3 inch system and I don't think the stock cat is 3 inches.

If i had it to do again, I'd buy the Hooker cat-back. Hacksaw works good. Mine all unbolted, but the stock 1-piece I-pipe was a bitch, so I hacksawed it in two. - Pretty simple and straight forward. Remove and replace.
