YUP, the exhaust is easy to install and all parts are there! Good deal and sounds great.
I had to figure out how to mount the rear brackets for the tail pipes but used and existing frame hole and some backyard engineering to mount them.

If I had to do over I would have gotten chromed stainless tips, the polished ones are turning yellow but still look good.

 

Tires look good!

 

Nice tire & price. Only a few miles down the road from me.

 

well I got the exhaust last week and it sounds pretty good, it bugs me a little at about 55 to 65 mph get to 70 though and it quits down good.

just got the tires today, they look good too, I'm heading down to work now to put them on.

I'm glad nobody jumped in and said crap exhaust and worst tires ever, I never even thought about this site again untill last night.

thanks guys

 

wow thats the worst exhaust kit ive ever seen.
and the tires........ dont even get me started..





just kidding, exhaust kit looks good. do you know what flowmaster series it came with? flowmasters do drone but you know that now haha, the 50,70,80 series arent that bad but thats just cause they are a tamer muffler. the 40 and 44 drone alot but i personally like it. never had experience with that those exact tires but they look sweet.

 

The ebay ad says "a muffler nearly identical to a FM 40" It's a fake. But who cares as long as you like the sound. You have to put up pictures when you get the tires on.

 

How was the installation? Any problems or modifications need to be made? I am thinking of buying that same kit. Does it sound real similar a FM 40?

 

the muffler is NOT a flowmaster, I don't know what one sounds like either, overall I like the sound, not too loud but not too quiet, only bugs me at 1500-1700 rpm. drones a little too much, I just turned up the radio and it went away.

the kit is just a bunch of pieces I'm guessing they got off the shelf and found the ones that fit, not mandrel bent but I figure that's no biggy since I went from 1 pipe to 2 anyway.
was very affordable way to get the sound I wanted

the exhaust was pretty easy to put on, like rbrumm said the tail hangers were a little confusing, didn't know where to put them, I welded them to the outside of the frame rails. only other confusing thing was where to cut in front of the muffler, I cut the original pipe about 4 inches in front of the muff then cut the 18" pipe that came with the kit down to about 6", that way the factory hanger on the intermediate pipe was still in place.

the tires are cool, they were really easy to get on too.
the old michilin's were a bear to get off, I couldn't get the beads to pop off, I had to cut them off with a my cut off wheel. I don't have access to a machine, just soapy water and a tire bar.

I took a bunch of pictures with my camera phone but I can't figure out how to get them onto my computer. I'll dig out the digicam tomorrw and take some more pics to post.

 

I forgot to mention about the exhaust
I bought it on sunday
they shipped it on tuesday morning UPS, I got it delivered the SAME day at 4.30pm, had it on my truck by 8pm. (took me about 2.5 hours to put it on)

I only live 3 hours away from where it came from but I never would have thought UPS would get it here the same day.
I'm still amazed by that
