I have them on my truck. Mechanic that I trust put them on and it was the first time he had used them. He was impressed and I haven't had any problems at all. Seems to be a quality part.

I've had them on for 6 months and no problems so far.

Thx.

This will be the 3rd set for me. I'll give them a try.

Did you have to pull the turbo to install them?

Had the turbo out anyway. You might be able to do it if you have triple-jointed arms and small hands :-). I think the problem will be getting the old set out first.

You'll need the turbo out. Honestly pulling the turbo is probably easier than replacing the pipe set.

Helping with a delete on an 05 a few weeks ago, it worked pretty well to have a guy underneath helping another guy tighten up the bolts from the topside, this was for the bottom up pipe bolts.
Just don't forget the turbo mounting kit for reinstall
