'02 T-800 sleeper extender removal, various questions...

I have an '02 T-800 with a 62" aerocab sleeper. It has the sleeper extenders and I would like to remove them...how big of a PITA is it to do it? I'll assume you put the bolts/screws back in after you take them off. Another question....if you were putting pipes on, what size would you go with, 6 or 7"? If 6", would you go with the 6" elbows as well or just expand it after the elbows? Dumb ?'s, yea. Just looking for some input. Thanks.

 

I see yours has the exhaust behind the cab, mine has dual pipes on the side of the cab...with the fancy pants s-curved elbows. I have snooped around and iowa80, Joplin, mo etc have 6" kits for around $1,500 that allegedly include everything.

Far at as the extenders go, I have no plans on repainting anything anytime soon, so I guess I will hope everything comes out with no issues.

Thanks for the replies.

 

I didn't dig too hard, just snooping. Said it was everything - pipes, elbows, clamps, cab brackets, yada yada. I figure by the time I piecemeal it together and the several trips to wherever to get parts, it's probably the way to go. There is about a $1,000 difference to step up to 7" though.
