No real need for instructions. I didn't personally install mine...although I watched and realized that I could have totally done it myself. Took the guy I bought it from approx 30 minutes and that was because the hangers were giving him some trouble...but nothing a little WD40 couldn't fix.

I say give it a shot yourself.

Oh yeah...we did not use a lift either.

Good luck!!!

It is very easy. There really isn't anything that would cause you a problem. Just make sure you put the gaskets on where the 2 pipes come out of the muffler. Other than that...there really isn't anything I can think of that you could mess up. It took me about 45 minutes to do mine by myself.

Default One minor issue...

You should purchase a new clamp for the exhaust. The old one is a arse pain to get off.
I used a dremel on mine and saved it. It's a self locking nut on the clamp it's not easy to get off. BUY the clamp and its a 30 min job tops. Don't buy it it might take another ten minutes.
Its certainly pretty easy though. WD-40 spray all the rubber grommets then start the un-install. When you re-install it'll slip right on.
Keep everything semi-loose just tight enough to keep in place,then line it all up and tighten.

ENJOY.....

kaosv,
that nut is welded to the v-clamp. Loosen the bolt and you will be cool! Dont use the dremel!

Mine twisted while removing....just a heads up. I cut (barely) the nut and got it completely off ...
I was in a hurry so there sure could have been an easier way.

The bolt is self threading and has a taper on it which caused mine to twist. YEAH, I knew the nut was welded on.

Maybe mine caught some burrs? Not sure, but it was twisting and I wanted to re-use it. and DID...

Good luck......either way.

I am attempting to install my TRD duals today. I noticed when I started trying to loosen the bolt that it must have been twisting also because the bottom part of the bolt isn't moving. I've since stopped trying and doused it again with WD40.

Any suggestions at this point? If it's twisted a little already, is there anyway it's going to come off now?

It always sucks getting stuck at the first part of a project!

use the wd-40 where you need a lubricant, and get yourself some liquid wrench. This stuff works!

Yep, it worked like a charm. Now I have the exhaust installed and it sounds and looks great.

Got one question though. Is the new muffler supposed to fit all the way against the flange like the old one did? My gasket was in decent shape but I couldn't get the flange of the TRD to go over the the gasket like the old exhaust was. I put it up against it tight and tightened up the clamp. Everything runs good but I'm afraid there could be an exhaust leak there.

I was also looking for install directions, only becuase I have a after market exhuast that was installed by a local shop and really not that pleased with it. I did make sure that they retained all the stock hangers but they cut the exhuast just forward of the stock muffler when they installed the after market. The mount flange on the back of the resonator is still in tact. Would this be where the trd exhuast would connect. If somone had pictures it would sure answer a lot of questions. Thanks in advance.

stagger, cant say for sure if it is supposed to fit like stock or not. you can look at all the photos under exhaust and see if there is a photo of the connection you are speaking of. Maybe a new gasket is what you need.
Good luck.

P.S.
I love liquid wrench!

Thumbs up I have a set of instructions.......

.....from my Dual install last weekend. Send me a PM and I will scan them and e-mail them to you from work tomorrow. I'll put them in Acrobat so make sure you have Acrobat Reader installed first. (It's free, you know.....)

Mark, it looks like you're slowly TRDizing your Tundra, I.S. kit, I.S. wheels, TRD/IS decals, and now TRD exhaust.

The TRD exhaust is quite simple to do. I didn't have any trouble taking the old ones off. The new one fits perfectly too.

If you buy the TRD exhaust new, it comes with instructions.
