Exhaust system replacement

Muffler split, turbo back looks stock. I found an alumized MBRP 4" turbo back at Extreme in NJ for $321 w/ free shipping.
Has anyone used this system?
Any tips for removing bolts from the turbo?
How does it sound?
Thanks for the help.

No, just the exhaust system.

I sprayed them with liquid wrench and used a long extension with a articulating knuckle on it from underneath. Also had use of a lift , which really helped.
Good luck.

I couldn't get those two bolts to break loose when I put my MBRP system on. I ended up taking the clamp off between the turbo and elbow right before the downpipe. Then it's easy to take the bolts off the downpipe after they are out from under the truck. If you do that, soak the nut on that clamp with liquid wrench for a while, it looked like it would be pretty easy to break it.

Got the system in last night. Bolts on turbo came off with Liquid Wrench. Took a bit to get the new ones on with the 4" not having the same clearance as the 3.5". Truck sounds good.
Thanks for the advice.
