Backyard DPF/DOC Tuner?

Thinking of getting it overwith(6.4 dpf/doc delete). 98k when i got it and am at 104k now. Has anyone done this at home? Pipe/ tuner should be easy, just looking for any info that would prevent big problems. I am 2.5-3 hrs from the closest auto zone, so small things can cause big delays.
Thanks

Make sure you have the right tuner for the pipe.

My friend just bought a tuner, and the pipe didn't have bungs for the sensors, and the tuner needed them. My tuner didn't need any exhaust sensors and the exhaust didn't come with them.

Ive done it three times on my truck in my driveway. Last time I removed the DPF/DOC, I think I was less than 25 minutes. About an hour and a half the first time.

Here's a "pre game" checklist.
