Well, I was too lazy to do both of them today but they look slick with the tips raised up. I can't wait to get the other one done I had to fabricate a bracket to bolt the tailpipe up, so it took longer than I expected.,,,,98


I picked up a bumper pad earlier today, big improvement!!

 

Screamer.....

Much better looking with the tips up. How long are the tips? Where did ya get them from? Surely will be sweet when you do the other one.

 

They are about 8 to 10 inches long front to back. Actually, they are the Gibson Supertruck exhaust tips that come with the cat back system. You can buy them seperately for $60 a piece. I got mine in Seattle, from a custom truck shop.,,,,,98

 

that looks alot better, than before, and the bumper pad as well

 

Hey, thats SWEET! i was wonderin though, dont u ever run into the pipes banging the bumper, looks pretty tight in there!!

definite tumbs up though, sweet idea

 

The mounts they did on this exhaust are pretty stiff. There's almost no movement at all towards the rear of the truck. I used some of those flexible tailpipe kits temporarily, until I have money for the "real" exhaust I fabricated a bracket out of 1 1/2" x 1/8" bar stock, and it's bolted directly to the frame where the hitch used to bolt up. Trust me, it isn't going anywhere, lol,,,,,98

 

Looks Great!!!! Absolutely wonderful!!

Thanks Yimmy!

 

Yes, Looks awsome. I've always thought something like that looks good, and isn't the usuall exhaust. So keep up the good work....

 

Here's the bracket, of course it rained the day after I put it on. It already has the obligatory rust starting The flat side of the exhaust clamp is welded to the bracket. Pretty stout,,,,,98

 

Got them both raised now, and the effect is great! I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Here's a new pic!,,,,98

 

And a closeup of how deep the cutouts are. I wish I could have gone all the way to the height of the tips, but the bumper support was pretty close as it was.,,,,,98

 

Thats KIller!!

Love it!
JJ

 

Well, now I have to find another mod to do, LOL! Thanks again, Jimmy,,,98

 

Lookin good '98! As for future mods, I'm sure you'll come up with something!
