Except for the extension pipe, the rest of the exhaust is mandrel bent... The burrs came off easy with a file.

Some of mine were dented and had to be fine tuned with a hammer to get them to slide into each other.

What do you guys think about that extension pipe? It should be 3", right?

And mandrel bent!

The factory exhaust is 2-1/2 not 3. Backpressure is the devil but on a stock 4.6 I doubt there would be even a slight bit of difference if that extension was mandrel bent or even if the muffler was oriented differently to allow for a straight piece. You are looking at maybe a single horse at peak RPM

That piece should definitely be mandrel bent. If it's not, the system is no longer a mandrel bent system as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, I just responded to that. I am sure your boy Jim will forward all I have sent to him (are you two sleeping together?).

BE WARNED, THIS EXHAUST IS GARBAGE! IT WILL RUST ON YOU AND YOU WILL BE PISSED OFF!

I will smash his tips into a pile of metal when I get them off of my truck. He can keep his $15 each that he wanted to refund, and I will get a good exhaust put on my truck. He tried to do a search on me and "find out all about me" and came up with wrong answers. He is a scam artist and is here defending his product to keep selling it, not to make a happy customer.

rdicarlo - as far as I am concerned, you shouldnt be recieving info about an ebay transaction I had with a seller!! I will be forwarding all info to ebay and turning him in for that. Thanks Man
