Realistically it's a 30 min job if I wanted to. Work has been extremely busy and I'm lucky they even approved it. Today was a 14 hour day and I'm whooped.

That beer looks cold, you ‘oughtta help it out.
Yea don’t leave it just laying there!! Cmon man!
Magnaflow 3 in 3 out race muffler part number 14149 should be rowdy and sound mean.I feel for ya on the long days.
I don't have any sympathy for you on the above freezing temperatures and lack of snow
Tell me more about the muff
Oh and I did drink the beer then passed out and went to bed.
How on earth are the knock sensors a 30 min job or even an hour? They're under the intake and require removal of fuel fittings, intake, etc. to get the intake off then the actual work can happen. I've been looking at it as a 4hr. minimum job.
Wow didn't know that.
I know the earlier version is on the side of the block and can be done in under 30 minutes.
That's what all gearheads say. "It only took me 30 minutes to do that job on my car". When it takes you 4 hours or all day.
If it took you 2 hours I would be shocked. It's a very simple job but I could see someone without the experience of doing it might think it's a bigger job then it really is.
fuel line is one fitting, the intake is 16? and unhook the alternator, map sensor, coolant temp sensor and the throttle body connectors then undo the coolant line and the intake is off and set it on top of the coilover hoop. This is what I did last weekend.
When I put the truck together I tried to make everything as easy as possible to work on. It only took me a hour to properly remove the trans out last time...
I actually leave the coolant line on and remove the t-body from the manifold so the system stays sealed.
That works also.
New muffler is on, it's still quiet pretty sure it's the cat. Have the knock sensors and a new harness to do tomorrow.
So are you saying that it's TOO quiet?
Correct sir, knock sensors and the cat is coming off tomorrow.
As many times as you’ve jerked that off you should have gotten that lsa supercharge intake from @AgDieseler
I really wanted to just didn't have the funds at the time.
Are you required to run a cat?
I'm also required to have all emissions components.
My timing was a little off... 40 mins new knock sensors are in, Intake is going back on. Hour and 20 mins hood closed.
