Isn't it just two bolts and some hangers?

I assume you mean an axle back.

Jack passenger wheel up, remove wheel. Follow the exhaust from the end to the front of the engine until you find two bolts. Remove two bolts, remove hangers from the supports (this was a little difficult for me). Put new muffler on, place bolts back and connect the hangers(this was difficult but not as bad). If have more problems I only live about 120miles from you, but busy today with son's birthday party.

The OP is asking about fit, because it doesnt center in the SE's cutout.

Install it, then go to a muffler shop and have them heat and bend the pipes, until centered.
You will also have to cut and relocate the hangers.

The TRD uses 3 hangers. The one they supply as the special supplied 3rd rubber hanger rots out in about a year every time:(

BTW, this can be done without removing wheel or jacking car. I must have done it 10X now having had 3 exhausts for the car...

An update on the install after two months...
the sound is incredible! very deep sound and when full throttle it sounds clean. All in all I am impressed with the TRD sound. :)
I will post pics soon!

Selling the original exhaust. I am not sure if it will fit an LE model. The exhaust comes already with a wide exhaust tip which is wider than my new TRD outlet.
SOLD the original exhaust...
