home exhaust mod

I finally did a real mod to the ol' truck.

I did my own exhaust in my buddys garage and all it cost me was time and a little frustration..

The hardest part was gettin all the old crusty exhaust pipe out.

I took about 8" out of the pipe right after the converter,put on a new muffler my buddy had layin around,and put a turn down right after the muffler. I must say it sounds pretty cool. Kinda has a growl to it when you accelerate hard. NOT RICE SOUND,BUT COOL SOUND.

In the near future I plan to change the turn down to exit from under the truck in front of the right rear tire,and replace the cat with a piece of pipe...:thumbsup:

Good to hear Jas - what type of console are you going to put in? Will it be for storage or a changer, or are you going to build one for a sub?

As usual - you'll have to take some pics when you get them in!!!
