whats the difference between true x pipes and the crossovers??
and does the length matter in this aswell??

Length sometimes plays a factor, some like for Mustangs guide the left bank over to the driverside, which wont work for the trucks. You need a small universal X pipe thats about 9" wide and 12" long.

i see. so this

"""2.5'' Inlet I.D.
Dual Inlet/Dual Outlet
2.5'' x 4'' Center Core
12'' Length
Stamped Stainless Steel"""

would work?

alright.
thanx alot man!!

now one more question ha

im not gonna be there when they put everything on
me and my parents work so what do i tell the guy??

like where to put the x pipe, how far back to put the mufflers etc.

DarrenWS6 · #**201** 07-31-2009, 02:02 AM

You'll want the X pipe as close to where the original Y was as possible, and the mufflers as far under the bed as possible to lessen drone.

Bpokey- I had a thrush welded si/do muffler i hated it, had it for a week and yet back to a y-pipe. It's cheap and sounds cheap

I bought a pair of slp loudmouth resonators a couple weeks ago. I finally got around to taking my truck to a shop to get the pipes bent so I could weld them up. After much frustration, I'm finally done.

3" 316L stainless steel tubing covered in aluminum spray

dual rear exit with 4 1/2" tips

Sounds like a nice exhaust setup, but 3" true duals? Has to be killing your low end badly. And that is a very tacky reat end, chains and that thing of a hitch, but anyways, how come you painted over 316L stainless? thats just about the best stainless to get, it had to have costed quite a bit.

WOW............ chains.....'n flames.....'n .........

is that S & M related, or something????

thanks for the feedback, positive and negative. I know the chains are a little extensive on my tiny mydflaps... something to change. But the hitch, couldn't disagree more. I got the design from the internet and wanted to put my metal fabrication and welding skills to the test by trying to make one myself - a 10" drop hitch in a flame design not only as the face of the hitch but the gusset as well. I love how it turned out. It goes well with the rest of the flames on the truck. As far as the exhaust goes, its not true dual; it has a y pipe. 2 1/2" tubing still runs from the cats up until the y pipe. This setup replaced my 3" Flowmaster single exhaust. If I have lost any torque, it's so minimal that I can't tell. Drone isn't bad since I shoved the resonators as far back as I could. Thank you migdaddy for the technical advice and to those who referred me to videos with similar setups. Now what's wrong with a little s n m if you're the one holding the whip?

hehehehehe........ I was just pullin' yur chains!
Apparently you're damn good at metal fabrication, something I wouldn't even begin to know anything about.......... but your truck looks great!

And I love that exhaust, especially the TIPS!
