pics of your exhaust

[992dr]

I'm in the process of gathering some parts to build my exhaust and wanted to
see how creative you guys have gotten with yours.
Since I have tons of room, my plans are dual one on each side of driveshaft with pipes exiting in front of rear tires. Thorley Tri-Ys, Thunderbolt cats, magnaflow muffs all in 2.5" tubing.

So, like the title says if you got pics of your exhaust postem. Not just tailpipes but full underbody shots to, with a list of what you have.

:Handshake:

I don't have mine quite yet, however I have it completely designed. Mine is going from headers, to straight pipes (I am thinking 2 and a half inch). This will go back and bend with one 60 degree angle on each side to glasspacks, these will go infront of the rear tires.
I'm still open to header brands and glass pack brands (keeping in mind it has to be something I can get in canada)

[Paul]

I have real dual from the headers back...2 cats and 2 flow masters..with turn downs...

[Whippled2dr]

Mine

Dual 3" 5x11x22" magnaflows, 3" mandrel bent tubes, x-pipe, v-band clamps for easy removal.

whippled how does it sound in the cab with it dumped

[Whippled2dr]

Its pretty loud even with the two huge mufflers. The dual 3" made the tone louder but deeper. I also have long tubes so that probably adds to the loudness.

[718frankb]

how i did it 2-2 1/2 in front of rear wheels

Whippled2dr:

How are the gas fumes when idling with the short cut-off's?

Thanks

Running mine true dual from headders two 2.5 magnaflow cats 2.5 x-pipe and 2 two chambers mufflers with dumps for the exit all runs on the passenger side. Will start 2.5 then go 3 inch after x pipe into mufflers should sound nice and no more pops.

[DJTricky]

here are some of mine.

2 flow master 40 series with 2 3/4 inch

Whippled2dr ,
Thats a sweet set up. I'm planning on doing mine like yours but I have a 2wd so I have quite a bit more room. Is it obnoxiously loud? What kind of power are you making with your set up? I'm jealous.

718frankb,
Very creative. How does it sound? Is it a Flowmaster? If so what series?

DJTricky,
How does it sound inside with the Flows? Any drone?

destroyer1362,
How does that sound with the Borla? Also how does it sound from going to a di/si to si/so? Specs on muffler?

Thanks guys

[DJTricky]

i dont really know what you mean by drone. but it sounds nice. im actually gonna cut them off soon and weld on my turbo flange, so its gonna be 100% straight untill i get the turbo on in late spring.

[destroyer1362]

The muffler is a borla turbo 2.5 center in/ offset out, and the y-pipe is a stamped magnaflow 2in in/2.5 in out. When idling you can only hear a light rumble inside the truck. I think its quieter then a fm 40. When accelerating it gets pretty loud but not overwhelming, you can still carry on a conversation. I'm pretty sure it so quiet inside bc im running a single out. One more thing, according to my friends the thing is pretty loud if your driving next to me if that makes any sense.

[992dr]

DJTricky,
Flows are known to drone, it has to do with exhaust pulses. It basically makes talking while driving impossible and if you listen to the radio it has to be very loud to overcome the drone.
Turbo flanges, ooooooh please tell more.

destroyer1362,
very cool, thank you for the info, I apprecite it.

haha pics to come at a latter date. but as for the drone its not all that bad. it was alot worse with out the turn downs. haha

[992dr]

I'll be waiting impatiently for those pics, haha.
I know when I had my flow it droned like crazy, I think it droned more because I had made a 2.5" si/so into a 2.5"di/3"do w/90 bends pointing out in front of the rear tire. Even with the pipes pointing out from under the truck, it still droned. It had more to do with the mods done to the muffler.

update: It looks like I'm going to stick with the Thorly Y pipe and run it in the stock location. I thought I had enough SS to run it the other way but, unfortunately I dont.

[kickitandholdit]

no tips are the way to go

[iwaslowr]

When I first had the Flowmaster installed it was dumped and the drone was pretty bad, so I added a 4 inch tailpipe which really helped out and changed the exterior sound a little too...

[felskee]

how would it sound if u had long tubes and straight piped it but then dumped it out just before the rear axle

[992door]

Loud

[stykthyn]

like a UPS truck.

[Billy_ocean04]

How loud would the magnaflow exhaust system be on a obs?

[992door]

which magnaflow they make alot. I have the 5x8x14 on mine dual in single out with a 4" tip

Sounds good, well as good as can be from computer speakers... LOL

I'm planning on doing mine this Friday the same way, Dual in = Sinlge out...

Not sure about the 4"tip? Is yours chrome? And do you have any pics, I'd like to see it!

Thanks

[970Tahoe]

Yes mine is chrome it is 12" long with the 15 degree slanted end or whatever. Honeslty man i think that 4" tip is perfect for the tahoes

[Miami-Yukon]

That's how I want to do mine but without the chrome tip... I don't like how you can see the rest of the pipe behind the chrome, so I am just gonna make it look like a stock pipe with the sound....

I did it to my '90 2500 that I had in high school... dual in = single out 3" and it looked factory, but sounded good. But I used a FM back then... Not sure if I wanna do the FM or the MF ....

[blackcoffee]

992door, what kind of exhaust tip is that? Who makes it? Model number?

[992door]

This is it. http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/shopexd.asp?zone=main&id=8372 But i did not pay $70 for it I paid 35 shipped

[destroyer1362]

While were on the subject of tips, does anyone know where I could find these for under $170 http://www.autoanything.com/exhausts-mufflers/65A2439A0A0.aspx

.. I have expensive taste.

[992door]

damn those tips cost as much as my whole exhaust

[HuskerHoe]

992door, how does that magnaflow compare to the FM 50 you had on there? Inside/outside etc. Did I miss a link to it somewhere? I didnt think magnaflow made a dual in/ single out

iwaslowr, you found your rims?!?!!? Is there a thread somewhere on the recovery? I dont wanna threadjack but I read the whole "stolen" story so I'd love to hear more details on how it turned out

[992door]

Inside it is about the same until you get on it then it is louder. Outside i have no idea i have never been outside of it when someone else was driving it.

This is what the 50 series sounded like and the magnaflow there is a video and picture in this thread of it.

This is how its going to be set up BUT, I have replaced the two mufflers with one 12568 DI/DO w/built in x-pipe. It will be exiting in front of the passenger tire. Now, all I need is a free weekend to finish it, lol.
