I thought I'd share my exhaust setup becuase it only cost me $100 and I thought it was pretty creative.

I bought a Flowmaster Super 44 3" in, dual 2.5" out, a universal hanger and a 3" clamp from Summit for $100 shipped to my door.

Heres were it gets creative: I cut up the stock tail pipe and used the hump that goes over the axle to make 45 degree turndowns. I used a miter saw and a prep tool to finish them up. They aren't perfect, but they look good and were free. I welded them myself (also not very pretty) right to the back of the muffler and then dropped the muffler on the turndowns to make sure they weren't coming off. I welded the hanger to the muffler and bolted it to an existing hole in one of the bed crossmembers and clamped the muffler on where the stock muffler came off.

To further offset costs you could take your stock muffler, resonator, and remaining tail pipe to the scrap yard. I think they're stainless steel and last time I checked, they pay about .70 cents a pound for stainless!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

uhhh... pics please?? lol. sounds awesome!!!

 

i did similar to this but it is only flowmaster 40 delta.

 

Damn, 70 cents a pound for stainless. I need to go dig my stock junk out of the woods and sell it.

 

yeah I never took mine to the scrap yard either, mostly becuase I was too lazy at the time. I'm not sure if its stainless or not, but I think it is.

I'll try to post some pics, its raining right now and I don't feel like laying on my back on wet concrete.

 

Show us some pics! I took my factory stuff to the scrap yard just 2 or 3 weeks ago, only got $18 for it, well thats better than nothing.

Autozone sells turndowns for $3. Easier than hacking up your old pipe. If you cant afford 6 bucks...you shouldnt of bought a truck.

 

lol.
