Sweeeeeeet

I like that.

And of course I have a stupid question about it.

ready?


I have always heard that putting the side exhaust in front of the tire can cause problems on long trips by heating that tire.

fact?
or
fiction?

[edit]Can you post a pic of the whole truck with the exhaust? I know, silly request.

 

1st question:
Well, I thought about the tire issue (heating up), then I thought, if that were true they would not make them this way.... I don't know, that's just my reasoning.......

2nd question:

Here ya go:




If it's too dark, I'll take another one....

 

Damn...thats a nice looking truck.

good job fatboy.

 

i heard that exhaust will not fit if your intermediate pipe had a bend to the left or right. Did yours have a bend? If so how did you make it fit? That is the freaking exhaust I want, i'm so jealous. Looks sweet!

2004 FX4 Screw Dark Shadow Gray 3.73 Ls, Power Moonroof, PS Rear Window, Power Pedals, Tow Package, Heated Mirrors, Captains Chairs, 18" Wheels, tinted front windows to match the rear, carbon fiber emblem overlays, front back, and steering wheel

 

Yes, I have the bend in the pipe, but the fitment was perfect!

 

The Magnaflow dosen't sound "quite" like these Vance & Hines, but that's a different animal.

 

Damn, that does look nice!
I have owned a Class C Motorhome for over 4 years (460 C.I.) and the exhaust is positioned identical to fatman's, i have had absolutly no problems

 

Fatman, that's funny!!! It's a "FatBoy" 2001 Harley.

Mods I'm installing on Monday:

Lowering the rear end by 2" with new Ford U Bolts.

Wheels and Tires: 20x9 Wheels and 305x50x20 BF's





What do you think...????

I really tried to avoid the Bling=Bling Thing.... I hope I've pulled it off, otherwise the wheels will be for sale very shortly.

I also orderd Harley Center Caps from Ford to replace the blank Center Caps you see in the pics of the wheels.[IMG]

 

Looks excellent!

`

 

the next obvious Qs? ...

where did u buy it from, how much .. how loud !

I love it that is exactly what I want .... is it the one that troyer performance cells?

After seeing your fit with the bend and all, it looks like I'll being giving mike troyer a call tomorrow to place my order. Thanks for the info.

 

I bought it from hottexhaust.com, and I don't know if Troyer sells it.

It is Magnaflow Part# 15827
It has dual 2 1/2" pipes that open up at the polished ends to
3 1/2 ". This was particularly attractive to me.

I paid $476.05 Delivered

It has the Sound, Look and Fitment that "I" was trying to achieve.

At idle, it is very mellow, yet deep. When you accelerate, it dosen't quite crack like a Harley, but you'll definitely turn a few heads.

Sound is a very personal flavor, everyone will judge it differently.
I have a Fatboy to compare the sound too though, and again, on this truck I wouldn't want it any louder or for that matter, softer.

 

I'm surprised no one has mentioned all the rust on the OEM Muffler and Pipe.

I thought that thing was supposed to be a STAINLESS STEEL EXHAUST SYSTEM!!!

Is it cheap Stainless...? Is there such a thing?

 

Isn't that the bolt-on exhaust for an '01-'04 SVT Lightning. I had an '03 Lightning with that same exact kit on it.
