Some will argue that the single 4" is actually more efficient than dual 3" because there is less surface area inside the pipe with the 4", which equals less air friction. Also, a single 4" system is typically lighter in weight than a dual 3" system with two mufflers.

Also in case I failed to mention the exhaust sounds like it wants to eat a ford for some reason....
LOL,,,, thanks man.

I'm using a Clarke 180EN MIG for recreational use at home. I bought it last summer and I've used the **** out of it since then and it's been great. I've used a lot of welders over the years and I really like the Lincoln and Miller machines but they are quite a bit more $$ than this Clarke. Check out eBay for the Clarke machines, you'll be amazed how much welder you can get compared to the more expensive machines. The only thing I didn't like about it was the really short power cord (which I lengthened by 15'), and the short ground cable.

Thanks Doug. It's actually pretty tame compared to the ear-deffening duals with bullet mufflers.

Yeah, this rain sucks.

Pipes look pretty dang good Mike, I crawled under my Camaro to look, and I'm shocked you got a 4" pipe over the axle, awesome.
