[QUOTE="the_white_shadow, post: 638689, member: 10112"] Back from lovely Ghana. (Hopefully without malaria) Took the week off and am got back to work on it Passenger side exhaust was a bitch. I tried to go under the oil pan and tie into the drivers side like I had on the old truck but couldn't make it work at full bump with the driveshaft. So my solution is to run 2.5" for each bank out the sides to dynomax race bullets. I'm betting it's going to be loud. Exhaust will be wrapped and the subframe will get some removable plating to protect everything.
