I ordered the off road Y pipe from jegs today, is it really gonna be as easy as it looks to install? Just bolt right on...?

Also, m truck is already pretty loud cause of no muffler, is running it with no cat gonna make it much louder?

Of course.

It's easy in theory. In practice, you are working on the exhaust... it hangs out under the truck. So, everything is rusty, bolts like to break, and the pipes will not simply slide off of each other..... Expect to have some fun.

LoL, not the answer I was hoping for! I will get under there and spray some break free crap on it tonight so it can soak for a day or two.

Last question: It comes with 2 places for o2 sensors and also plugs for those places, so should I plug them or install the sensors in them...?

No cat, and no muffler?

Expect it to be obnoxiously loud, you'll probably loose some bottom end, and your exhaust will smell dreadful.

Why again did you want to get rid of your cat?

You can get a flowmaster 40 on ebay for under $100, that is my preference on mufflers. Still loud, but managable - depending on your definition of managable. I would def leave the cat out. And yes, you do need the sensors.
