   yeah you can do it yourself, is an easy job.
   
   get the car jacked up and supported, dont want it falling on you.
   then you will just need a spanner set, think its a 13 or 14mm spanner iirc.
   unbolt from the manifold, then unbolt the clamp holding it to the centre section, then remove the cat.
   
   then to fit the de-cat do the reverse.

   yes you can fit it yourself, i would recommend you have a new clamp and new bolts, springs, cups and the metal gasket for the the front incase they are rusted dead or past there best.
   
   Couple of spanners/sockets are all thats really needed
