[QUOTE="NotMatt, post: 1035753, member: 15947"] I just finished completely re-doing the exhaust today... I hacked what was left of the stock exhaust off... just a poor little crushed b-pipe and a catalytic converter. The rest got lopped off after I did the wheelbase stretch earlier this spring and never got re-done due to the location of the anti-wrap bar and my lazyness. I lopped the entire thing off right at the collector flange to the header, and went 2 1/4" all the way back to the muffler, with a flex piece right after the crossover to the passenger side. I cut the O2 bung out of the old b-pipe and re-used it. I routed the exhaust back and did a 90 degree after the skid plate and placed a Flowmaster Super 40 series I had kicking around sideways where the axle would originally have been placed, then ran another 90 off that and dumped out right next to the rear shackle on the driver's side. Not too bad for some pieces I had laying around, a few I bought from the parts store, and a bit of work. I would've liked to route it forward first and under the oil plan to keep the crossover out of the way, but I didn't have any tight mandrel U-bends available to me. I still need to pull the whole lot back off and paint it with some high-temp paint, but it works for now and is much more pleasant to drive. :D I'll post some pics tomorrow. One more thing I can cross off the "**** to get done" list. Next up is to finish the rocker protection this weekend, re-do the shoulder harness mounts, build a spot for my dog to sit in the back over the gas tank/cargo area, replace a couple leaky seals, and then maybe I can get some real wheeling in sometime soon. :haha: [/QUOTE]
