Holy freakin' crap, Leo!!!

I'm sure glad this year's exhaust contest is over!

Wow man....WOW!! I have a new favorite truck exhaust!

You do realize your fab guy does ridiculous work, right? I hope you 'tipped' him well!

I'll bet all the money, waiting, anticipating, wondering, etc was all worth it when you heard that baby fire up for the first time, huh? I'm truly excited fer ya, man! Fantastic work!

P.S. What are those springs at some of the joints?

P.P.S. That li'l ol' muffler is barely a muffler at all, eh?

 

Hey All!!

It was a real pleasure working with Leonardo to do this exhaust!


The springs on the joints are there to keep the parts of the slip joints together. Pretty much ever joint on this entire exhaust is a slip joint (save the v-band clamps on the cats and the header flanges themselves).
By using the springs to keep the slip joints together all of the parts of the system are allowed a few degrees of freedom of movement to expand and contract as they heat up. This makes the whole system pretty much impervious to cracking, not only from heat, but also from vibration.

The muffler is quite small...but Leo wanted the truck to sound like a BOSS...so there you go! The muffler is basically a rebuild-able/serviceable Burns Stainless glasspack, so it does a killer job of filtering out a lot of the high-frequency noise. This leaves the rumble! Also, the cats go a long way towards quieting down the truck, hence the use of the smaller muffler.



Thanks again to all for all of the kind words about the fabrication!!

Best,

John K

 

Great work John!!!!

 

Sounds great. Awesome job John.

 

Sounds good Leo!! Crazy fab skills, they're very nice

Well, Leo now has the official, most custom exhaust out there. Everything but the stock cats! Well done, fantastic looking fab work, and a awesome grunt!
