Issue or not an issue?
Issue or not an issue?
Finally had some exhaust work done. I am happy with the sound and the way the tips came out. But in my opinion I think that it came out, kinda, sloppy. Posting some pictures to see what you all think. Just wondering if I am being knit-picky or if it really isn't the best work.
First off, I wanted to run true duals replacing the stock Y pipe with an X pipe, into 2 flowmaster 44s and out under the taillights. The shop told me that they couldn't fit the X pipe because it would make everything hang down to low... hmm, I have seen plenty of trucks like mine running duals with an x pipe and two mufflers but, they had disregarded the x pipe first and finished the work without notifying me first. I got it home and noticed that the stock block with the arm for the bump stop was hitting the passenger side pipe with minimal suspension flex. It had already began denting the pipe. Took it back to the shop today to have them re-adjust before any further damage occurred. After today I think it is still a little to close. Any ways check it out and tell me what you think:




Mufflers are touching just enough that when the truck is running they vibrate and rattle together.

i take it back and have the mufflers either welded together or spread apart to eliminate the vibration.... vibration and rattles are my biggest pet peeves i cant even have change in the cup holders or ash trays haha

Completely agree. I'm glad you picked up on it too. I tried explaining that to their "exhaust guy" today and he said that was the only way he pipe it to get the tips to the corners. We're talking about a shop that specializes in exhaust work. I was speechless. It's not like they ran out of pipe.
Already looking into it. Thanks
X2 to everything, there are too many unnecessary bends and it looks like it was all installed in the dark. The X pipe will fit and the intermediate pipes do not need bent at all... Plus those crimp bent tails kill your sound also.
I still would not want the installer anywhere near my vehicle at all, let alone washing windows even
