lol yeah pretty much, i did have to cut the ends off of the elbows with a sawzall and grind down some plastic that was sticking out that wouldent allow the flex coupler to fit, and drilling the 3/4" hole for the AIT sensor, but other than that it was trial and error just fitting and cutting and fitting some more, as long as you got some patience, your good to go

How much did all that cost? Nice job. What type of exhaust do you run and do you get a drone in the cab at certain RPM's?

It looks great, but I think the ebay ones are just fine if you pick the right one. I got a one-piece 3.5 inch aluminum with heatshield & filter for $75. That can't be too much over what it costs to build one from PVC when you take the filter into consideration.

it cost me about $100 with the filter, but thats going with the 4" ID pipe, i have a 3" in 2.5" dual out and a flowmaster 40 muffler, it only drones when the engines cold? but other than that its not bad at all...and yeah i was thinking about building a heat shield for it
