hey everyone i will be installing roush exhaust on my 5.4 supercrew short box this weekend and my mechanic and i were wondering if there has to be any cuts made to get the old stuff off. does any one know or have any advice? thanks in advance.

 

Technically no, you could unbolt it at the furthest back connection in the intermediate pipe and remove it as 1 piece, but cutting it up makes it a little easier for removal and storage ( if kept ).

 

If you have a lift, you should be able to get it all out in one piece. The angle that it has to take to clear over the axle is a bit too extreme if the vehicle is on the ground.

I got out the reciprocating saw and cut it just after the muffler so the tailpipe would easily come out by itself and the remainder could just fall down once the hangers and clamp were removed.

Again though if you have a lift, you could probably do it without cutting, but if you aren't going to keep the stock crap, its quicker just to cut it.

 

I easily got my stock exhaust off in one piece and only the rear tires were on ramps. No cutting is necessary. It's simply remove/replace. You're going to love the Roush exhaust!!!

 

I was able to get mine off in one piece without a lift. I did have the truck jacked up as high as I could and jack stands under it. It shouldn't be a problem if you want to keep it intact.

 

i dont think i even jacked mine up or put it on ramps and got it out in one piece

 

Yeah, mine came off as well in one piece without having to jack it up. I actually still have it. Have any of you been able to sell your stock exhaust?

 

No one is going to want a stock exhaust, its scrap metal for ya.

 

hmmmm, shooting target I saw a member did that a few months back
