LOL

I haven't done much with my exhaust yet..... aside from weld it back up at the cat, so it no longer sounds like a tractor...... (no offense to tractor drivers.) My plans are, hopefully, long tubes, and true duals, with an H pipe. No clue yet on what mufflers. Not gonna worry about the cat, as I don't have emissions testing here. Prolly run 2.5 inch pipe all the way back, and some of the fake flowmasters my buddy sells..... His sounded pretty good.

Or, shorty's, off road y pipe, 3 inch single all the way back, and one of the fake flowmasters.... Have to see what the future brings.

 

Hope the rollpan wouldn't rust out as it was primered black everywhere and didn't see any chips etc. Not painting until i get my engine squared away and then change my front bumper (right now i stand on it all the time). guess i could hit it with a clear coat of rustoleum to keep it from going. rust isn't that bad, ill just go to my buddies and have it glass bead blasted before the whole things ready to paint.

So wow HeyYou, im actually surprised that i could stump you with any question :P I have to go Cali-Legal and I have a Center-Offset muffler, so unless i wanna pay for some fab and welding i am stuck with only a few brands and few types. everyone says magnaflow for better flow and mpg, but those vortexs look nice. I guess life could be worse deciding what awesome parts to put on your truck :P

 

Just installed a Transmission Oil Cooler last night straightforward other then having to rig up a 90 degree elbow so I can run the hoses without worrying about a kink, I know its ugly but it will be replaced eventually just wanted to get a real cooler in. I put it in series so I didnt have to worry about the stock one leaking etc.





Gotta love JB WELD!

 

so here is me fixing my jerry rigging after getting the right parts

 

Push the hose over the lip on the lower radiator fitting if you can. (yeah, I know, that's a pain) Then put the clamp on the other side. Makes sure that one will NOT come off.

 

These hoses were SOOOO HARD to push on had to put a bit of transmission fluid on the end to push it on Id hope it wont come off especially with hose clamps. The lips are gone BTW dremel FTW

 

Ohhh now i see what you mean the bronze one on the bottom. I tried hard to get it over that and no go man.

 

Yeah, it was a major pain on mine....... I just had visions of the hose slipping off, and spewing fluid everywhere, and my trans giving up the ghost...... Am I just a pessimist?

 

Nah you are what i like to call a forward thinker or worst case scenario kinda guy :P. All the other ones dont have a lip on them so id imagine they would go first if i even did get that over the lip its still a good one inch on.

worrying is praying for bad stuff to happen imho

OH BTW congrads on 10,000 posts :P

 

Alright heres me going nuts with some angled diamond plate to make my roll pan gap look a bit better
