It looks clean, but can't image that those sharp square turns are doing much for exhaust flow.

hehehe those of us w/ another forums log ins stored had no problem seeing it....here ya go NickI



I don't know about the square tubing. If air flow worked best in square tubes don't you think the big companies would have done it? Does he have a round pipe running through the square tubing and is just using the square to cover it and mount it pretty? That would have to be some small tubing if he did (yeah I know [&:])

Square or rectangular tubing flows about the same if the square area is the same. Round is stronger for the same gauge and lends itself to smoother bends. I like keeping the load floor somewhat useable but those tight 90 degree turns up are very restrictive.

I like the D ring welded right to the fender well. Painted to match even.

Since it doesn't look like it's braced at the top, it looks like the square tubeing is just some sort of brace across the bottom, and the round tube runs right through the floor and crosses over under the bed, not inside of it. Maybe that square tube is for a tire chock for a dirtbike or something?

LOL.......I noticed that too. Looks like it's just prep work and he plans on a Spay-in bed liner maybe?

I agree with Mayfair... looks like they are split under the bed and run straight up through it. The boxed steel is a brace. I can see where that configuration would leave a lot more usable bed space.
