I know there is not much for clearance back there. It's gonna be tight. I wonder how this setup compares to beans h2e setup.

I'm probably gonna wrap those up-pipes to keep the heat down on the firewall...

Might have to bring the uppies in from the bottom?

You might get the pass side in from below but I dont see any way to get the drivers side in that way.

You might be able to get them in from the bottom if you pull the trans but at that point I would just pull the engine so you know for sure. I am trying to figure out the best way to make my kit so that I can get each pipe off individually.

Also on the H-max kit I think it either uses the stock pipes or at least it keeps the pipe individual and separate from the collector.

Ceramic coating sounds like a good idea.

I don't want to pull the engine. That's a lot of work.

This may be a bigger challenge than I thought.

The Hypermax kit uses seperate uppies and a collector but they are not stock Ford pieces.

Unbolt the cab mounts and you can raise the cab off the chassis, there's only 6 of them, one at each corner of the cab and 2 more outboard of the radiator support.

It would be a sweet deal in a van.

Ok, what about separating the two uppies for install and then welding the square flange together once they are in place?

I might have to resort to liftin the cab...
