I'm in the middle of installing my CED 62FMW setup. If I ever do this kind of thing again, I'm pulling the cab LOL

There isn't much exciting to post. I only get a couple hours a night to work on it and the last three nights have been nothing but frustration for me trying to get the factory up-pipes out, and more specifically the bolts that hold the up-pipes to the manifolds and to the y-pipe. Drivers side bolts I actually broke a 10mm socket on one of the bolts. I ended up having to dremel the bolt in half and finally go the stock up pipes out. Of course, in my couple hours I can actually get work done, I'm am being interrupted and keep finding I need tools I don't currently own (weird extension lengths, more swivels etc). It's coming along though. I will get pics of the new setup going in, I believe I have everything out that needs to be out now though.

Also, got my topside creeper together which has been majorly beneficial to my back for this project LOL

Topside creeper would be nice!!
Are the new upipes one piece or do the have a vband somewhere to break them down for install?

Please ignore how filthy it is under here. Needs a good scrubbing and some paint on some things, but I'm getting there.

You'll see the passenger side has a v-band, so there is a section very similar to the stock setup or even an EGR delete pipe on that side. The rest is all once piece. It takes a little patience and some finagling to get it in there like this, but it will go.
