yet again another exhaust thread jk lol
but seriously, in my mind, you put too much thought and cash into your exhaust systems, but then again im a broke high school student
make it simple, simple as in less pipe = less restriction, like my system out in front of the rear tire, no weird bends over the rear axle, just a mandrel bent 2.5 inch pipe in front of the rear tire + i also am no longer choking on exhaust fumes when im hooking up a trailer or wagon

I've been planning on replacing my whole exhaust set up for awhile now and I've been wondering the same thing about X and H pipes but since that question is now answered, I have one extra one that may seem like a no brainer. I've been out of the truck mind set for over a year now because I've been living in japan without my truck so some of my knowledge and some common sense stuff has gone out of the window about this stuff but I'm wondering if ya'll are putting the X pipe between the cat and muffler?
I was planning on replacing my exhaust before I left but then I made the smart choice of not going through with it because all that new exhaust would be doing is sitting for two years doing nothing. But what I've come down to doing is Pacesetter long tubes, cat, X pipe, flowmaster super 44 mufflers, and end with 3.25" tips with the whole exhaust being 3". Does that sound like a good set up? I know I could probably find my answer eventually if I went through some threads but it's getting late and I'm kind of tired so lazy mode has kicked in.

eh, its not as simple as turning the truck off to hook up a wagon, u usually have to back up and or pull forward a couple of times at least, due to the wagon weighing a lot, making it impossible to move by hand and the tongue sits on the ground so you have to back up just right to be able to swing the tongue sideways and have it line up with the hole in the hitch, and it don't take much time, to hook up but exhaust fumes are intoxicating
this should explain easier
it usually only takes a few seconds to drop the pin, and hook up the chains, if the wagon has any (ours don't, but the CO-OP has them on theirs, which is what im towing, 10,000 lb anhydrous wagon)
that and the fact im too lazy to walk back to the cab to shut it down.
