If you have never done the install before it will take longer then 4-6 hours.

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Yup JJ has it right... I would say 4-6 as well.

Long tubes void the warranty on the motor. Just fyi

moved to Mustang Chat

mine went fast it seemed because I had a friend helping and we bullshitted and tipped a few beers. The time was fun and went by easy.

I went with Stainless Works. Their o/r x pipe has one part that can be swapped out for a cat, for when I have to pass emissions in three years.

What's a warranty?

What's a warranty?

appreciated, but I'm still gonna wait on the LT's till the warranty is a little more gone than 3000 miles.

 

[UltraKla$$ic]

Maybe 4-6hrs for the install, then another 6-8hrs in the hospital for the blood transfusion after your hands get annihilated during the install.. Ask me how I know...LOL!!

No long tubes don't void the warranty on your motor.
I don't give a rat's ass who told you that.

Read the law.
Magnuson Moss Act.

Under the Magnuson-Moss Act, a dealer must prove, not just vocalize, that aftermarket equipment caused the need for repairs before it can deny warranty coverage. If the dealer cannot prove such a claim — or it proffers a questionable explanation — it is your legal right to demand compliance with the warranty. The Federal Trade Commission administers the Magnuson-Moss Act and monitors compliance with warranty law.

The part you install must be proven to CAUSE the damage.

I appreciate it, I didn't know about that. This is the first new car I've ever owned, and haven't ever dealt with factory warranty issues.

not in this case, I didn't seem to

I spent 6 hours putting mine in, on a lift. on the floor I'd say double that number. hardest part for me was the O2 sensor connections... and as was said, be prepaired to bleed, and what doesn't bleed will get burnt,

Hell yeah. I did it with jackstands with the help of friends. Took all weekend. Two full days. You must have a 13mm racheting flex head box wrench. That will that make it easier. Follow timmbos write up. Thatll save you a lot of time.

Cam install.....way easier.

M90 install......way less pain!!!!

Took me and my dad a couple days as well. Its a pretty tight space in there. Definitely hold an entire weekend to do it, just in case. And make sure you have an extra set of competent hands there to help you.
