Default DIY axle back on is350

I just bought my f-sport exhaust and wondering how to install it. I tried searching but couldn't find any information on a DIY guide. I know it is simple but I would like to make sure I am doing everything correctly. So, Do I just jack up car from exhaust manifold in the rear and leave it on jack stands? Then I take off the 2 bolts thats near the Y pipe?(anyone know what bolt size) What do I do after?

The link to the instructions is on Sewells page. Here it is:

Edit: Wow. That is so easy. The F-Sport Intake install is harder than that.

^It would be a good idea to jack the car up. Unless you are super skinny and can fit under the car, it'll still be hard as hell to install.

Smokey, did you get the exhaust yet? Need help?

u got it! its pretty straight foward. two bolts and the rubber groumets. umm i just drove the right hand side up a curb. should be enough space. or use ramps. i had ramps just oo lazy to get them out. some wd40 may help with the groumets if its too hard to pull off.

Oh, sounds like a good idea. Driving it over a sidewalk. But I do have jack and 2 jack stands. Not sure if I can trust it with my life.. What do I do with the muffler hanger?

You can use this for any axle back right? Also do we need the exhaust hanger tool or do they all come with one?

Use your own 2 hands to remove the exhaust from hangers. And wd40. Lube that baby up until it slides out easily.

+1 WD40 makes it super easy to remove from the hangers. Remove the two bolt holding the stock exhaust. Do the reverse for the Fsport exhaust except the Fsport comes in two pieces instead of one.
