New toy I picked up...

Ah good point! haha

exactly! I'm keeping my daily, like i said its just a home depot truck.




Just spent 7 hours out in the shop attempting to remove the exhaust. The bitch is getting the headers off. Normal headers you can just, ... ya know..... unbolt. Not these, thanks to Banks ultra-awesome designers they included non-stainless hardware in the stainless exhuats kit, so all the heads on the bolts were rotted to the point i couldn't get a socket on them. I had to cut the headers out peice by peice, then grind all the bolts off the flanges where they bolt to the heads. I got the pass side done, and got all that was left of the bolts out with vice grips. Got the Y pipe off too. Even got the o2's out of it. I still have to do the driver side which is even more cramped. Hopefully it will be all apart by the time my kit gets here next friday. Then no more exhuats leaks! Yaaaay!

Happy to report that the exhaust is completely off the truck! Now should I hollow out the cat or leave it alone??

Stacks should only be placed on diesel trucks

even with the v-10 i would be nothing but a bitch-ass-poser if i had stacks on a gasser.

the pipes are 3" all the way into the muffler which exits via 3.5" single pip behind pass rear wheel. It looks stock to the untrained eye. won't sound it though.

Oh and i ended up hollowing out the cat too. BTW I only did this because i had no aft-cat o2 sensor. If you do this kind of juvenile shit with an aft-cat o2 the vehicle will have a check light.

That's awesome! Try to post up some sound clips!

[Wayne64SS]

will do bud. I'm waiting on the parts to get here next monday. I'm sure I'll have it together shortly thereafter and will post the audio goodness.
