Yes. Jacked up the rear to give me a little more room to do it.
Removing the stock exhaust was very easy and took less than 30 minutes of labor. Removal involved (1) unbolting the flange connection behind the muffler and then sliding the entire tail section out; (2) Unbolting the flanges at the resonators; (3) Removing the hanger closest to the y-pipe; (4) Sliding out the remaining exhaust unit in one piece.
Installing the Flowmaster kit took about 4 hours by myself (including set-up/clean-up). If I had it up on a lift, some power tools, and a helper it would have taken far less time. It utilizes the stock exhaust hangers and includes parts to install one additional hanger. Currently, I only have the slip fittings holding it together but will also be getting the connections welded. A problem I had with the instructions was installing the additional hanger for the driver's side rear exhaust pipe. The instructions were not very detailed as to which direction the hanger was supposed to face after attaching it to an existing hole in the frame. Doing it their way did not seem possible as the spare tire was in the way, so I mounted the hangar on the other side of the frame and that worked (spent some time figuring this out as I did not want to screw it up).
