Default New Exhaust!

I just got my muffler and Tailpipe from Rock Auto. Came up to $64.06 shipped to my door. Just gotta pick up 2 clamps and a hanger and then i'll install it once i get it back from getting the transfer case fixed.

It's a good quality, all mandrel bent and the pieces slide right together. Can't go wrong for the price. Yeah, i know, it's stock, but i'm working with a limited budget since work just got cut to 3 days a week...

Just a stock one...I wanted a Cherry bomb but nothing really caught my eye, and Magnaflow and Borla are too rich for my blood. Plus this one only cost me 17.03

Stock is nice for a good sleeper truck. I got a Flowmaster 40. $100 installed.

Got exhaust on, significantly quieter but still has a bark as it sounds like its got an exhaust leak on the right manifold, like the donut is leaking. Still happy with it though...

Sorry no donuts. But you can try to tighten the flange.

You can put them on if you want. They do help when the pipe has opened up cause of a loose system.

I'll just leave it until it gets worse...It sounds cool and doesn't bother me any, I love that V8 rumble!
