The length of the installation completly depends on how hard it is to get your stock H off. A midpipe swap can be done in a 1/2 hour unless you run into problems.

Just remember to soak the f*ck out of those bolts multiple times with some PB Blaster. Get a 2 foot extension, a swivel, 13mm and 15mm sockets, and I think a 7/8 open end wrench for the o2 sensors.

^ What he said. PB Blaster is your friend on these installs. It soaks into the bolts and makes them much easier to get off.

Also, make sure you have a new gasket for the passenger side. You cannot re-use the stock one and if you don't put one in you will have an exhaust leak. You can get it from Ford parts department and it is about $10. You may be able to get it from an Autozone or something, call them and ask. You do not need one for the driver's side.
