Hey everyone, what's going on? Welcome back, this is Alvaro and today we are finally installing the exhaust on the truck. I added a Borla muffler because it will have less restriction on lower pitched sounds and more on higher ones. The exhaust system will increases the performance of the truck because it offers a free-flow system. Remember everyone to Share, Comment, Like, and Subscribe.

Installation
a. Removing the stock muffler was a pain because it is only divided into 2 parts, the resonator pipe and muffler with the rest of the exhaust pipe. I sprayed WD40 at the rubber isolators to allow the exhaust hangers slip out easily. I removed the 2 resonator bolts and loosen the bracket at the other end of the resonator at the muffler then wiggled out resonator pipe from the muffler. Then I had to lift the truck at the middle to allow the muffler out of the truck with help from my son. My son push the muffler from the back carefully to avoid damaging the lines on the top of the axel while I pulled it slowly out by the side.
b. Do not tighten the brackets and bolts until you have assembled all the parts under the truck.
c. The first part we placed under the truck was the muffler with the pipes that go over the axel and placed it on the existing rubber isolator hanger. Then I placed the new resonator to the truck with the 2 existing resonator bolts and hand screwed them on. Then the midpipe with the 2 brackets and place it on the existing isolator hanger and into the new resonator and the muffler. Then we moved to the back to install the new brackets and rubber isolators on the leaf bolts on the left and right. Then we installed the 2 pipes to the left side of the exhaust with the 2 bracket and hanged the pipes on the new clip from the leaf bolt. Then we installed the right side pipe with the tip and 1 bracket. Then adjusted both exhaust tips to be at the same level and started tightening all the brackets and bolts. Finally turned it on to hear the ROAR.
d. 13 mm deep socket for the bolts at the resonator
e. 15 mm deep socket for the nut on the brackets
f. 21 mm and 24 mm for the bolt and nut at the leaf spring
g. 1/2 breaker bar
1/2 impact wrench to loosen the leaf bolts
