Time for install?

Im looking to install a new dumped Flowmaster 40 Series muffler tomorrow. How much time should this take? (From unwrapping the part to starting up the truck afterwards)

If you have the right tools, should only take an hour.2 at the most.
If your removing the stock muffler and tail pipe. Just get a sawzall and cut in front of the muffler(leaving 3 or 4 inches of pipe on the muffler if your planing on doing anything with it other then throwing it away)
Take the tailpipe hanger loos and remove all in one piece (you may need to jack the truck up in order to do this) or just make another cut.
Slip your new muffler on,your turn-downs on,clap loosely. Install new hanger. Then tighten it all up and your done.
Good luck with it, should sound great!

First thing I did to my truck was dual Flowmaster 40s.
