Default Done with exhaust 3" to 2.5" true duals over the axle (lots of pics)

Well is took the better part of three weeks going a little at a time but its basicly done. All I need to do now is to take it back out of the car and finish weld everything. I used Dr Gas X and ball flanges, Magnaflow muffers and mandrel bends to build it all. I am very happy with my end result. I built it for maximum ground clearance. I have urethane motor mounts so I don't think I will have any banging issues. So tell me what you think.

I have not added up the receipts yet but I would say $450-500.00 in parts.
Instalation cost my spare time over the last few weeks. I did it all myself.

Not sure yet but the lowest place will be the front pipe on the driver side. Only way to get it any higher would have been to notch the body brace. I would have done that but I was too lazy to pull the carpet out and was afraid of catching the car on fire if I welded on it with the carpet in place.

Good choice on the muffs, I run the same and they sound amazing. Looks good, your setup looks almost identical to mine. Must be nice having your own lift!

I can't wait to hear it. I plan on having it running this weekend. Who built yours?

As for the lift I don't know how I ever worked on cars with out it. I though it was a requirement to own one if you have any 4th gen fbody.

Mr Hutto. He did a great job especially considering that it was done with the car on jackstands. The only thing is that with the muffs that close to the bumper (mine were too) that your tip selection is limited. I ended up going with some 4" round slash cut magnaflows. It turned out really good! What tips are you going with?

Are those reducers the Flowmaster 'venturi cone' style reducers? I stuck a pair of them on my header collectors to connect my 2.5" true duals.
