DIY Exhaust

I am looking at upgrading the exhaust on my Excursion. Has anyone done a turbo back replacement with any AM kits? How difficult is it?

I've been researching doing a turbo back exhaust myself. Check out YouTube there are several informative video's. 4" turbo back exhaust packages are the norm and from what I've found are doable with one person and a sawzall for removal of the old system. I think I've settled on MBRP stainless T-409 for my truck but I've read good things about some other bolt together systems as well.

I would suggest looking at some of FTE's sponsors to get an idea of what's available. Their prices appear to be fair and they do support this site and provide great info.

Good luck.

It's a do-able mod with one person but two people are a blessing when fussing with the downpipe alignment. I think it took me about 3-4 hours by myself, start to finish, lying on my back in my driveway installing my 4" turbo back system.

BTW, another vote for MBRP. Good system.

That's about what it took me with one of the earlier MBRP systems that don't fit real well.I had to reposition all the pipes sevel times
I done this with severe back and neck injuries and a right arm that only works about 50%.So for the younger guys it should be a walk in the park

sawzall for removal is the key tool
