Cat back dual exhaust ?

I bought a cat back (Flowmaster American Thunder ) dual exhaust kit for my 2013 sport access cab, is it a one man thing without working on the ground , maybe driving the passenger side of the truck up on sone double pieces of planks to gain an extra 3 1/2” , how long do you think it’ll take, should I just saw all it out ?

thank you for your help

 

Are you wondering how long it would take to install by yourself or remove?

 

Remove it and install the new one ?

 

It took 3 1/2 hrs taking the old one out and the new one in , by myself

 

How does it sound, any drone happening at certain rpm's?
How's the over all look and driveability?
Video would be nice.

 

Lol the only video I 3ver made was with a drone....

I did a lot of research there’s a couple videos on YT that you can look at with the same exhaust on the same truck (2013 Tacoma sport with Flow Master American Thunder), it’s a little louder at start up and sounds sweet when you step on it , I don’t know what you mean by “ drone” even though I’m a drone flier but I did see it mentioned with two other brands but not with the Flow Master and that was the reason I picked it .....

The install was a piece of cake I bought one of the exhaust hanger removal tool and I made good use of it , you’ll need a saws all to cut the old hangers then use the tool to pop the stud out and I used a grinder to cut the two bolts ( totally rusted ) also used the saws all for 2-3 other cuts to make things easier,the install was a piece of cake I did it on the ground with the rear wheels up on a double 2x4 for a little xtra working room .....

im glad I did it it sounds great ands a little more responsive when you step on it , K&N cold air intake next week

 

I had that on a 2009 Off Road and it sounded good. No real drone like some of the others have. Very livable.

 

It shouldnt take more than an hour if its a bolt on kit. I bought MBRP dual exhaust catback for my 09 2.7 and I installed it laying on the ground in about an hour. I would still weld a bead around the joints where pieces connect to reduce exhaust leaks. Overtime it will shift and fina a way to leak otherwise regardless how tight your clamps are

 

Yes it could have been a lot quicker (1-1 1/4 hrs) if the front two bolts weren’t rust solid, I had to grind them off then drill them out on the part that comes from the engine, I’m not a mechanic by trade and I’m not really a do it yourself car guy type but I did get a lot of satisfaction by doing it myself, the cold air intake was another interesting little project I did that I’m proud of.......

 

I put a volant 2 piece ramair induction on mine for cold air
