i am getting a borla exhaust (single in duel exit)and was thinking of doing it myself. has anyone put one on and how hard was it? I'm tire of paying people thanks

 

It's real easy. The hardest part is taking off the old exhaust. If you plan not to keep the stock exhaust, cut it off. That will save a lot of time.

 

Nope--i'm cutting the sucka off --I should of got this 4yrs ago when i got the flowmaster 40 series catback on--now it rusted and broken off I should of know with this Pa. weather. Anything i need to be aware of that i don't damage or needs special care when doing this?

 

I have not worked on a 2000 F150. The Borla instructions are pretty straight forward. My exhuast had a round pin welded to it and it had to turned slightly before you could remove it.

 

I changed out the exhaust on my '01 and my '06 - the '01 was a little easier. No worries.

 

If you have to ask, you should be paying someone to do it for you.

 

That's a pretty stupid thing to say. How is anybody supposed to learn anything then?

 

Like he said, it's hardest taking the old one off, my new one took 5 min. to install after all was clear, si/so though.

 

I installed my Ford Racing / Borla exhaust myself on my 2003 F150 Supercab. It was pretty straightforward, taking out the old exhaust wasn't that hard, but it was a single piece from the cat back to the tailpipe, so it was pretty cumbersome. The Borla fit was impressive, just don't tighten everything at the start. On mine, there was a lot of tweaking before the pipes under the bumper were centered. The only problem I had was the hanger on the drivers side (the one Borla supplied) was to low, so the rear pipe was hanging in mid air are really wobbled. I took a hammer and banged the hanger up a little and everything was perfect.

Oh, and one more thing, spritzing some water on the bushings make the hangers come out a whole lot easier. I didn't want to use WD-40 and I didn't have any grease, so water it was.

 

A little info for you all, if your threading a nut on a stainless stud, put some anti-sieze on the threads. I have heard that threading will make heat and antisieze protects as well as lubes the threads for no problems. It should also say in the instructions.
