yeah, that bend under the rear cross member could be better.. but i used a pipe clamp and a spring stabilizer rubber chunk and wedged it inbetween.. all is good..

i love it when i put on the axelback only.. i just wanted it a tad bit louder..

 

yep could be louder, but nice purr. Got a photo of the magyver pipe rubber stabilizer?

 

will take one in a bit

 

this exhaust is sexyyy as hell! I just put it on and omg what a difference.

magyver does your exhaust tip stick out far b/c my exhaust tip seem to be out far and it annoys the hell out of me....I will take pics later

 

ya i noticed that... one thing that I am thinking about is getting their piping, cut the tip and reweld on a new tip to push it back some. or even attempt to bend the hangers a bit to get it to sit farther back.

 

mine dosent stick out that far.. its not recessed, but i think its perfect.. i also have a lip though..









i believe those rubber things are called coil stabilizers.. but not 100% sure.. i needed em on my s-10 that i had a 5/4 drop in.. but they have come in useful i'll tell ya what.. i just cut em in half.. they are pretty beefy.. got over 4K on it and it hasnet moved or melted away.. ends the rattle instantly..

 

thnx for pics magyver. Interesting mine appears to go around the other side of the tow hook than yours! I fixed my rattle with a clamp. I will prolly go back in and add some insulation since I don't wanna transfer too much heat from pipe to tow hook.

 

does it rattle after u shut off the car? cuz mine does.

 

not mine

 

So i got dirty again last night and went back under :-) To recap I have a borla axle back- I think magyver said his is the magnaflow catback, so that could account for some differences. I was wrong when I said mine went around the hook on the other side- but my bend seems to be further back (rear of the the undercarriage) so I used a strip of exhaust insulation and wrapped it around using a pipe clamp and put it on the longitudinal part of pipe (running from joint to bend)- wedged it between tow hook and exhaust - viola! problem fixed. My previous solution (inferior to magyver's) took care of the rattle but created a creeking noise, and I was concerned that the exhaust didn't really "hang" when pipe clamped to tow hook. This could prolly cause stress on the joints. Thanks for the pics and ideas magyver. BTW I made trubendz aware fo the comments and they are looking into it. HANSome- look for pics I'll take over weekend and post.

 

well heres are the pics from the exhaust...as you can see that the tip is wayy too out. I may have to cut the tip and and weld it back on...and also do you guys think I should weld the exhaust together because I only have the clamps on.

 

i didnt weld mine, nor did i use the clamps.. i couldnt get the clamps tight enough to stop the pipes from spinning inside.. but they were fairly tight pipes.. so i just took a 1/4" self tapping screw sand put one screw in each side fo the muffler.. not spinning now and no leaks

 

Well from reading this quality fitment does not seem to be there forti.

 

well, i'll take a little elbow grease vs paying an a$$load more for a brand name kit that sounds the same.. im not affriad of a little challange..

 

How much was your kit?

 

$310 magnaflow High flow cat with magnaflow muffler.. non ricer looking style setup...

 

$205 plus shipping for borla muffler and axle back pipes.

 

magyver- I'm no exhaust expert (obviously) but not using clamps or welds on the joints sounds like a very bad idea to me. You can't necessarily see a leak, but exhaust is toxic, and the job of the system is to get that gas out the back at the farthest point possible. I would go back and slap them clamps on for insurance.

 

the clamps broke before the pipes stopped spinning.. its all good.. i've been building/piecing exhaust since for the last 12 years.. its all good.. my s-10 stops right under the cab.. its all good.. but thanks for your thoughtfullness..

 

I finally shorten my exhaust now. I will take pics shortly.
