Catback no sweat.
Harder if your changing the downpipe but totally doable yourself.
Have a good time.
You got gauges?

No i dont have any gauges...do I need them? I do also want to order that system and install it myself but everybody tells me I need to take it to an exhaust shop and let them do it in order to do it right.....is that true?

Here's a link to HOG's instructions. http://www.hogperformance.com/p_installation.asp
You can read them over and decide if you have the tools and mechanical aptitude to do it yourself. I didn't read over HOG's instructions, but MBRP instructions indicated an easy install. Some of the turbo back systems recommend you make a cut of the stock exhaust system rather then remove the transmission cross member.

exhaust
I was looking at MBRP exhausts, and their instructions say the system was made so you don't have to remove the crossmember, something about cutting or disconnecting in front of the crossmember. Looked very shadetree mechanic friendly. I once put a cat back on my F-150. Much more simple than a turbo back job, but it was extremely easy. The exhaust was a Gibson supertruck cat back, and everything fit like a glove. Took me less than an hour, lying on my back in the driveway, used a hacksaw to make things easier. I didn't see anything on the MBRP system that looked really difficult, except for the downpipe thing. I've heard it's a tight fit, and requires some patience. I love the diesel duals system. Something about dual 5 inch tips that would make this truck look like the bad boy it is.

I did the Hog cat-back by myself in a couple of hours. No problem.
I just shifted the spare tire over to the left alittle to give me
more clearance between the tire and the plastic boot cover on the shock.
I did not do the turbo back. I did not want to fool around with
the emmisons and possibly have FMC
at me.

yeah it wasnt to hard to do the install.......as long as you get the right exhaust system for ur specific truck. Now im not too stupid, but when it came time to do this i was. It came in on a thursday, so when i got home from work i started hacking at factory exhaust to get it off, and when i went to put the new aftermarket, low and behold, it didnt fit right lol, so i didnt have a truck till saturday nite. To make a long story short, they sent me the turbo back system, i needed a reducer to neck the 4 in pipe down to 3.5 to fit onto the cat, and my hangar locations were all out of wack, im not sure why that was but i had bend, cut and weld new hangars up, but all in all it was fun, no better way to spend ur birthday i say lol. And i have the 6 in slant cut exhaust tip, much more noise than thr 4 in, get it, its worth it.
