Honestly, I hope I don't. I wrench for a living and when I do this kind of work day in and day out, It gets old real quick. Just like any job I guess. Mines even a union job. Working on my own cars/trucks really isn't fun anymore. It's more of a burden now. I used to do the MODS, now I just care about getting the max life out of all my vehicles because I hate having a car/truck payment. I know, quit whining.
If I never have to wrench another day, It wouldn't bother me a bit. .....Nah, it would. I can't stand ANYONE working on my vehicles, even warranty. I'm like a nervous husband whose wife is about to give birth when I have to take in one of my vehicles for simple things like tires, or alignment.
Looks like I'm stuck wrenching forever

Yup, 3" schedual 40. I do have a K&N - just the filter.. You spent more but yours is better - My sh^ter pipe has joints at the bends .
Well i hope you primed and glued your joints or else you fail inspection
I think most of the older generation finds it very hard to maintain their vehicles and if it can be rigged consider it done.I have seen my dad use bungee cords and everything in between.I think most of us wrench for the same reason,who the hell wants to pay $70 an hour plus i trust nobody to touch my truck.

I believe you have the gay deck not the gay card. Queens anyone? LOL!

Hi

Picking nits, but ....

Poop Pipe is usually ABS, which is naturally black.

PVC is usually white or grey....

You really want black for Poop Pipe so the skidmarks don't show ...

JBrew used ABS, from what I can see in the pix.

... Just sayin ....
