just installed my roush offroad exhaust and love it. install went quick and painless. only took about an hour and a half. exhaust sounds and looks great. everything lined up and went in easily as described in the directions. taking stock exaust off was the hardest part, and for that i just unbolted the hangers instead of trying to slide the mounts through the rubber boots. then remounted the hangers after i had the stock system out. i'll get some pictures posted prolly tomorrow. but definitely recomend the roush offroad to anyone deciding between exhausts.

 

do you have a sound clip?

 

I have a Roush SIDO on the way. I wanted the dual side out, but was told it wasn't available for the 6.5' box. Can't wait!!

 

no soundclip yet. i'll try to figure out the fiance's camera to see if i can get one.

 

oh yeah, got it from mike from woodhouse. delivery time was amazing, i ordered it online late wednesday night and mike called me friday afternoon to make sure that i had recieved it. i was still at work but when i got home there it was on my doorstep. not too shabby.

 

I'm sick of people saying it only took the 1.5 hrs to install an exhaust. It took me about 5 hours to do my roush. I feel this sounds more footed in reality and less footed in salesmanship.

 

Sorry, Jake. Next time, take your other hand out of your pocket. I have installed many cat-backs, and many were much bigger diesel projects and none took 5 hours. You must have done something wrong. I do all mine myself, and even trying to align the tips on the one Magnaflow (that never really did align), I never took 5 hours to install. Did you have problems taking off the old system?

 

I am not an ASE mechanic... took about the same 1.5 hours... installed a banks single exit... probably less work than the Roush w/ dual tips

 

I did have problems removing the stock setup, especially the hangers. I used PB blaster and let it soak, but I ended up un-screwing the hangers instead of just sliding the metal peice through the rubber.

I'm just wanting people to know that it can take longer than 1.5 hrs so they can plan accordingly. I was expecting it to take 1.5 hrs. I didn't even have any beers.

Oh, and if you do not have a flashlight that straps around your head, you should get one for this and all projects.

 

BFish - what year and length bed do you have?

 

2005 screw with 5.5ft bed

 

if i hadn't done the install over at my dad's shop with all the right tools it would have taken me a lot longer. had an impact gun to loosen up the stock clamp, cause no penetrating oil was gonna break that bolt loose, also used impact on the bolt on the bottom of the spring perch for the rear hangers. and had my dad around for helping me reomove the old exhaust. but other than that, dont' see why it should take longer than a couple hours. spent the majority of the time in taking the old exhaust off and aligning the tips.

 

The biggest problem is getting the old system off, & aligning up the dual tips...other than that, pretty straight forward! I think that the older you original exhaust is the harder it must be to remove it, with rusted bolts/stuff, my original was 5 months, so it was not bad......

 

 

It took me way less than an hour and a half, and I didn't even cut off the stock exhaust, plus I only had the back of the truck on jackstands, no lift.
