Install A New Tundra Exhaust System in 27 Minutes

OffRoadWeb.com has a nice quick article that shows how installing an MBRP cat-back exhaust system takes just about 30 minutes (27, to be exact). While this install time assumes that:

• you have all the tools you need
• that you know how to use them
• that you have access to a vehicle lift
• that the underside of your Tundra is relatively rust and grime-free
