Torch the hanger and bend it to make it fit better?

What system is that?

How does it sound? Why did you leave the front resonator? Mine stuck out like that too, I had mine shortened because I thought it stuck out too far.

I just can't get into tailpipes. Unless there are dumped behind the bumper where they can't be seen.

from what im told it sounds great. my buddy had a ram 1500 with the hemi and mine sounded better. i left the res on because i wasnt sure about the emissions/legality. The tips are bolt on, i kinda like that they stick out with the angle on them.

for like a month i had no exhaust or muffler, just the res and it was freakin loud. now it sounds so quiet. i thought about just having two pipes come out of the muffler and cut them like at a 45 angle pointed down
 


Quick Reply: finally the exhaust is on
