But from the picture I posted

I will describe it in the opposite direction.
So it runs from the tip to the Bullet then it runs about another foot then the pipe is curved in under the frame right up to the cats.
So it basically curves over before the fuel tank. Pretty sweet.

Yea way before it!

And the exhaust place he and I go to always sprays your pipes with heat resistent flat black paint, which helps so much to conceal it. It really draws your eye more to the tips.

My friends truck really needs to be sprayed again but it still is hidden good under his running boards.

Now that i looked at the picture again i can see it running on the out side of the frame rail...Only prob is my 97 F-150 isn't lifted cause its 2WD and if i run a 2.5" pipe or 3" pipe like i have now that will be about 2 inchs off the ground if that. I thought of doing that but the frame rail is just to low to the ground on my truck. Im gonna run pipes behide the tires and 45 out behide the tires. What your friend did is just what i wanted to do

Yea I have 45 out the back like you are gonna do now but how his is setup with that tip it looks super clean.

See I wanna do the same thing but he has a 2.65 O.D. tip and I wanna go with a 4incher but I was wondering like on his truck right after his bullet its still a 2.5" O.D. pipe then to the tip... what it I was to run a 4 inch pipe to the 4 inch tip after the bullet. Do you think that would hurt the performance?

Or would it also help the sound because a bigger O.D. tip acts as a megaphone. Woyuld it be ok to do that since it was be a larger size after
the bullet??

i think the scavging effect only takes place before the muffler so a few feet of some bigger pipe shouldnt hurt you to bad... i think i read that on here some were after the muffler it doesnt matter the pipe size. Soemone will chime in.

OK thats sounds like a plan then!!

I just hate the look when a running such a small pipe to a way bigger tip.

yeah its all before muffler. My stock exhaust was 2.5" then after the muffler the tailpipe was 2.75" Its all good after muffler.

Bigger tips echo that sound much further and make it more metallic, very worth it!
