Going back to stock exhaust questions.

Yes, it is very easy to swap out a cat-back exhaust, like the AWE that is on yours. Everything is bolt on. The hardest part is the rubber hangers. Some can be harder than others to slip the hanger in or out of those things...use some spray lube to help with that. You can swap out the entire cat-back in well under 3 hours by yourself with no lift.

I agree about the hangers, might I suggest this tool. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018SUZPBM?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_13 (or something similar)
I had it in my tool box from a exhaust swap on my Rubicon and they came in handy for this job. The only one I had to wrestle with was the installing the aftermarket one because I think it might have been a harder material.

The main reason that I changed my exhaust is that I wanted the DV8 storage compartment (https://dv8offroad.com/products/6th-gen-bronco-storage-compartment?_fid=9dd99789a&_pos=1&_ss=c) so I could have more storage space. Although it will fit with the factory exhaust, I wanted more space between the exhaust and the compartment so things wouldn't get hot. If that is something the OP might want to get in the future, it is a good time to get it now since there is better access with this exhaust in place than with the factory one installed.

Which exhaust system do you have? Would the storage box fit with the borla or magnaflow axlebacks since the mufflers tuck up a bit?

Not sure about the others but I have a "Corsa 21209 - 2.75 Inch Cat-Back Single Side Exit Exhaust System with Turndown Exhaust Tip 21-25 Ford Bronco 4 Door Performance" . There might be information about those here https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/dv8-storage-compartment-reviews-experiences.129187/

I’m sure if you posted a trade, someone would gladly take that AWE off your hands and give you their stock exhaust.

Agreed that the install / swap is cake, who knows, you might make a local Bronco friend out of the deal.
