Are the pipes stainless or aluminized?

 

Neirti: Yeah man sounds good

4.6 Puisher: Not sure yet, haven't actually bought the pipes yet. Going to just take it to a local shop and see what they can do.

 

Well if you go with aluminized (nothing wrong with that) be sure to paint them as soon as possible. I've waited a pretty long time to paint mine, and rust is already forming on certain points.

 

Thanks for the tip, since I feel like I'll screw something up trying to paint the under side of the truck I'll try and find stainless.

 

It's not hard to do at all. Just be sure to use A LOT of newspaper to keep some of the paint off things like the axle, tires, drive shaft, etc.

 

I still think I would manage to mess something up lol

 

I never plan to paint my pipes, mine look just fine and have the same surface as aluminized, and I deal with road salt. Just wash your exhaust by hand every couple months

 

Darren what do you use to wash your exhaust?

 

The left over car wash soap in my washing buckets just with the grit guards removed. I wash the frame and suspension parts, finish with the exhaust, then axle. After cleaning the pipes if I feel like it i'll polish them with my stainless cleaner, but only twice a year I bother to.

This is after 2yr/winters, granted the mufflers are semi-new aluminized, and aluminized extensions after them.

X pipe came in earlier today when I was doing community service! Unfortunetly by the time I got done, No one wanted to start work on the truck. So I am waking up and getting to a shop early tomorrow to see if they will get everything on for me. If all goes well I'll put up a new thread with pictures and videos of my new exhaust

 

Cool deal man, cant wait to hear it!

 

Woke up early today to go to meineke(sp?) and get my exhaust put on today. They wanted 375-400 for the install. Sounds high as hell to me so had to walk out. It was a very sad experience to get there and not have them put on.

 

I would not go to a big name shop like that. You need to find a little shop to go to, that wont charge you out the *** and does just as good work

 

Barret give a call to midas muffler. or theres this shop in downtown duluth called mighty muffler. They say you can have a full true-dual system for $225. just a few ideas

 

Going to Sooner muffler on Canton highway Wednesday morning. Going to get it all put on plus tips for $270. I'm pretty excited needless to say.
