Well I got both deletes in before 8 last night started out as a pain in the arse. First problem of the day was the fact that not only was the U clamp that was holding the cat sitting above the cross member and the bolts facing the underpaneling whoever installed that thought it was a competition to see who could put the most torque on a U bolt that puppy formed a 1/4 in divet in the pipe. Needless to say I didnt end up getting the pipe up there broke lose. I ended up cutting it with a sawzall and I had enough pipe yet still to clamp on to and from there on things got simple. The deletes went in with no modifications the only mods you might end up with are gonna be on the factory pipe depending what situation you fall into. All and all the kit went on great. I would highly recommend this as inexpensive way to get a nice diesel rumble shes even got a slight rapp to her when you get on it. I love it. Cheap, great sounding exhaust!

Well that is the reason I dont like u-bolts. I'll take band clamps any day. Ya gonna put up a video of your running truck and great sounding exhaust? Id love to see it.
|
Yeah I ended up using a cut off wheel and when I got thru the clamp she made a really loud popping noise they definitely had her down with some force. But yeah Ill definitely get a video of it up. I wish I would have took a before video it used to be so quiet.

i did the same thing to mine but welded everything... with cool air intake system ur truck should not only sound like a PETE but run like one too!! a 4 " clamp comes bigger than 4"s!!! its made to go over 4 and suck down...:choochoo:
|
Yeah I got mine on. I dont have a way to weld stainless though, I got the stainless cat delete it was only 5 bucks more. Doesnt pay to weld it anymore though. Plus eventually im gonna switch it to 5in MBRP with clamps it'll be easier. But yeah she roars really good and hums at an idle with a slight turbo whistle. :w2: :tu: Definitely a cheap means to nice sounding exhaust and slightly better MPG as well.
|
:tu: Cool, glad it worked out for you............
|
Yeah im still working on getting a video up just have been really busy lately.
|
I can relate to the busy thing......:nope:

Depends on the stainless...if its the typical 409 stainless used in exhaust systems, it can be welded using steel rod. |

---AutoMerged DoublePost--- Yeah im not quite sure what type of stainless it is. ---AutoMerged DoublePost--- Atleast if i get pulled over for it being to loud I can easily bust it apart and throw a muffler in. |
