Always a good idea to spray them with some penetrating oil. Hopefully you lubed them up with some anti seize prior to putting in the new pipe.
Luckily my friend is getting one from Ford for a little over dealer cost. Unfortunately I have to wait til tomorrow.

My garage won't close with the truck in it so I had to put it mostly back together and roll it out into the driveway. Also unfortunately for me, is my driveway slopes down a lot... Should be fun finishing the job.. hah

You can actually start it up and move. It won't hurt it but it will pop a CEL. And sound horrible like an exhaust leak.

Is it really worth the extra cost all these companies are charging?

375-800 for approximately 10rwhp??? And the extra drone?

I've seen only a few Dyno results and I was disappointed by numbers. If it was a decent gain then I would be happy to deal with the extra noise, but for the time being, I don't see it in my near future.

Really wished it was a significant gain cause then I can say I got it for the power and the ever so drooling noise of the spooling turbos!

Anyone have Dyno numbers that show more than 15rwhp gains?

I like the MAK offroad pipe cause it actually has a good looking Y merge.

But I wish it had an exhaust hanger.

I guess that I'll have to MacGyver something.

Here's a possibly stupid question, after removing the cats and putting in the catless ypipe, did it set off the check engine light and what did you do about it

Figures as much, I have the SCT tuner just haven't had much time to play with it and see what I can do with it. I want to do the catless ypipe and 4" exhaust over winter since I have a month off in December

You need someone to install a custom tune to turn off the rear o2's . The SCT Canned tune will not do this on its own , and there are no parameters that allow you to modify the canned tuned to turn them off. Maybe SCT should include that in the canned tune and label it for offroad use or something?

Yeah that would be nice if they did maybe I will email them and see if they can offer that, or just contact Livernois and get their custom tune
