How easy/hard is it to install an MKO exhaust

I have a 2001 F250 7.3 4x4 6 speed I am wondering just how hard or easy it is to put an exhaust on from MKO. I havent bought the exhaust yet but i believe that it is a turbo back.

Pretty easy. A 2 on a 1-10 scale. One man job except I had my son help from below just to get the downpipe clamped. Just get a helper for that part and save the aggravation of doing it yourself, though that too can be done.

Check your clearances closely. I was hitting against a bolt on the back of the head and had to tear apart fix and reinstall. Taking apart with the "crush" type ubolt clamps is a major pain in the butt.

Very easy install other than that. One can do but two would be a breeze.

I second that - Have a helper & it goes real smooth.

As long as you have a sawzall and have no intentions of saving the stock system, then it will be very easy to get the old system out!
