Default So you want a light exhaust?

Finished this up over the offseason and figured I'd share. I had a similar version of this last year running a Magnaflow 14419 but it wasn't tucked up high enough and I felt like the 3" was likely a restriction. Smashed my old primaries after nationals so I figured now was a good time to revisit it.







I actually managed to scrape the torque arm mount without touching the exhaust. Muffler is 3.5" in/out with a 4.25" OD and yet isn't really any louder than the 3" in/out Magnaflow with 4.5" body. Really looking forward to getting a sound reading to compare. For reference the old system was generally 95dB at 50 ft and peaked at 98 when it was banging off the limiter next to the meter. This shouldn't be any worse.

It would be a little lighter if you dump those crapy clamps and make a couple of welds.

Needs to be adjustable and quickly removable in case it doesn't meet sound on a rainy day and the rear one is holding the exhaust hangar.

3.5" from the Y-pipe merge on back. This setup doesn't make enough power to need 4" and I'm not sure it's possibe to fit a muffler in the tunnel without cutting things.

Really nice clean setup. What's the part number for this muffler you're running now and did you fab up the tip or buy it pre made? I might try this great work man.
