Building my exhaust. I decided I wanted to run the pipes and muffler high in the frame, and have nothing exit under. So I cut a hole in the side of the bed, and ran exhaust there.
The muffler will mount high under the bed, just in front of axle. Its a same side IN / OUT. Its a larger muffler, for a deeper sound.
I'll be putting an 8" flex pipe near header to prevent header cracks.
I'll be wrapping the headers (already done). And wrapping most of the exhaust piping. For a few reasons, one the pipe runs near the transmission and I want to keep heat down. And the hotter the exhaust gasses the better the flow. An Exhaust that runs too large of a pipe, or too long of a pipe will have issues, as the gasses cool. (Its dry where I live, so I'm not worried about rust due to moisture in the wrap)
I'm going extreme on the mounting too, to insure proper weight, and strength. multi rubber isolators.
(Exhaust is not not done, that tip is just hanging in these pictures) I Think I'll mount it so less is sticking out, and angled down a bit.
