You need only the basic hand tools for the cat back install. And a jack and jack stands. There is nothing tricky about this install, it is very straight foward. Yes, lube up the hangers with almost anything, looks like white grease from the factory, but anything will work.
You may have to modify, bend, rebend or shorten the tip
hanger(s) to get them to fit behind the bumper correctly. I cut a couple of inches off the driver's side and rebent it when I did mine. It's just a 3/8 inch mild steel rod and easily bent, easier if you have a vise though. Snug everything down but don't tighten it until the you are satisfied with the alignment of the pipes and mufflers with respect to the body of the car. Check for sufficient clearances around the mufflers and tips.
Good luck,
Dana
