They unbolt and the step covers need to be squeezed together from the underside and don't include any additional parts when I got my Raptor take-off caps from eBay they had the back bracket and some of the clip nuts which helped cause I broke a couple. The Limited caps will need a different bracket for the back which has different outer support of the lower part of the cap, it also has hex cap head screws and those clip nuts.

Steve, do you think those cutouts will line up to your Borla?

Most likely not, I also have the OEM hanger mounts. When I get everything mounted I'll try to realign them up higher, if it won't move by just loosening it I'll wind up cutting and welding a little. But it will be closer than the Raptor caps.

That's pretty much what I thought. Looks like a fair amount work, especially on the left side crossover. I'm interested in seeing how you handle it.
Got me thinking of the Borla Raptor, or even if Borla has come out with something for the Limited. It'd be really cool if you could just get the tailpipes if they've done anything.

Borla doesn't stock anything as I found out before, they produce on order complete sets no parts. The don't warehouse anything that's the job of the wholesale warehouses where they will drop ship complete systems when they don't have them in stock.

Kinda got distracted today, sold my 2001 Excursion, was a bittersweet day!

It's now sitting in somebody else's driveway!
