I'm putting new pads on this weekend. Is there any special tools I'll need? Is it pretty much a straight forward brake job?

You need your lug wrench, a 17mm socket, and maybe a mallet. Not hard at all. The quickest way to do them is to remove the bottom 17mm bolt in the caliper and just loosen the top enough were you can rotate the pistons off the pads. Not a bad idea to put a little grease back on that bolt you removed before reinstalling.
If you're going to bleed the brakes, go in this order:
Rear passenger side
Rear drivers side
Front passenger side
Front drivers side

What about replacing the flex section on my spare downpipe? The cat is still attached to it as well so there would be the flanges for a test pipe as well...

I have my stock dp yet maybe we can make that work.
Probably won't get started until after noon my friend need me to hook up his hot tub for his gf's b-day party next weekend.
Adam give me a call if when you get done if want to come down. Bring your pressure tester and my controls also, if you read this before you leave.
