took me 8 on a YD25. 6.5 hours and 4 layers of knuckle skin getting old exhaust and dump off..... easy enough to install.
its not rocket science. just a P.I.T.A area with no room to move at the dump.
i dont envy exhaust mobs who have todo this day in day out haha

I took someone else's advise from on here and started soaking the exhaust studs with wd40 for a few day in advance. It's a known fact that the tighter the nut the more wd40, ha ha, I can't remember how many hours mine took, but it was all in one day. I know I paused for a coffee a couple of times, every time I came upon a stuck nut I sprayed more wd40 and let it soak in,

As above pull the studs out to get the dump pipe off. Just have to double nut them to get them undone

Studs ain't that bad, I had one I had to let soak a little longer in wd40
No matter what you read or hear,
remember this.
Start at the front. becasue if 6.5 horus later You still havent got the dump off. at least you can drive it to work and try again next weekend!!
Spray the nuts with something to help loosen them off, WD40 springs to mind

It's better to start the job thinking it's going to take awhile, than to be all gung-ho thinking you will be done in a hour

I'm running a redback 2.5" system with a muffler and a 3" dump pipe, no cat.

I've got the X-force 3" with the straight through muffler, not too loud, unless I'm into it.
I wouldn't think it slows the flow and I wouldn't want it any louder.

Did the xforce you got have a muffler? Mine does and it isn't too loud unless I put the boot in and even then from inside the cab, the snorkel is louder... I'd give it a couple of weeks to get some carbon build up on the inside of the pipe before you decide if it needs a muffler. If it is drone you are worried about just get a hotdog put in. You won't lose any power from that as it just gets rid of resonance to stop droning...
