subway tunnel

Well....after 50miles of exhaust ran thru it,it looks like this


I did alittle deferent on the down pipe and plus how the pipe ended up laying out,I used a stainless band and welded a bracket on the down pipe


Plus there was this taking an extra clamp where the paper work had the hanger/clamp pulling double duty


Caleb you were worried about your spare staying put,well after everything settled this is the clearance it has.


Pretty easy deal,but you'll need to trim it up with a sawsall.
in the near future it'll all be welded off solid,after I get/find the pieces to cobble together duals

[cmann250]

Good deal. I'm going to use all band clamps from the get go. I've got 2 whole hangers on the exhaust now, so I'll have to address that with the 4" system.

[RCCUMMINS89]

My goal is to run duals. I wanted to run dual 5, but Diamond Eye has yet to make a "true 5".

[PToombs]

Ellis, nice weld on that bracket. I like to use a regular clamp on mine there. It's easier to remove and I can shift the pipe back and forth if needed as I change stuff.

PS, it looks like the next bolt up is loose.

I didnt notice any seat of the pants dyno improvment by removing the muffler on my system...I put the ss muffler back on I prefer quiet.I sure wish I would have used those fancy band clamps,it was a bitch to get that test pipe back out of there to install the muffler...

nice install,it looks great!

If you use heat it helps expand the pipe back out to slide them out.

I'll say this much:
ELLIS, I wouldn't get caught DEAD running that dry-rotted POS you have in the spare tire spot in that pic!

Mark.

Ellis, did you cut where the instructions said to? I knew I had to cut but I cut the wrong pipe. Didnt look bad but I noticed it.

Ha ha i've never had the thing on the ground nor have I paid any attention to it,i've had on blow out before and I used the trailer spare . I'm probly buying 5 tires pretty quick anyhow

Jon,I surely didn't cut where they said,well.....i didn't limit myself to "their" instructions.

[Mark Nixon]

Speaking of the Diamond Eye stuff, I picked up a really rotted to hell 4X4 E/C recently with that exhaust on it.
Can I hack it and make it work on a STD cab 2WD?

Mark.

[ellis93]

I don't see why you couldn't,pipe might swing wide to clear a transfef case thats not there. Bend over the axle could be different I guess.

[Mark Nixon]

This snow crap has me bummed.
There is so much I can do and when the weather IS good, yet I'm too busy doing the parts thing to get my own stuff done.

I have SO got to put a bracket on my mess.

If you don't you'll break the flange at the turbo sooner or later. Seen it a few times.
Just a suggestion, and I know it's not really a nice option, but why not stop spending money on the truck and put up a garage?

For a split second there I thought you might be intimating that I can actually afford to put up a garage, then I saw they you must mean David.
This realization was garnered from the word "TRUCK" in singular, not plural, being used.
Since I have at least 4 potential projects, I feel this actually exempts me from the description.

As such, I have no real reason to reply, other than feed you a ration of crap.
