Word of advice. Be careful that the exhaust is not aimed towards the rear leaf spring. There was a post on here a few months ago where a guys spring broke in two right in the middle. It was caused from overheating by his cut-outs exiting straight back towards his spring even though they were about 18" away.

This isn't the same one, it is from over a year ago, but the results were the same.

also careful not to place them too close to the tranny and rear diff. You dont want to be heating those parts with exhaust.

Whats the point of doing cutouts and bullet style mufflers? they both will be very loud. Now if you did a stock or mild muffler and wanted to get an angry loud sound every so often you could open the cutouts


OR am I confused? Are you saying you want to weld up bullets to the Hpipe and dumb the exhaust under the car? If so be prepared for exhaust fumes in the cab

Yes I want to weld the bullets to the x pipe and dump it with turn downs before the axles, I hardly drive the car on the street so the loudness/fumes aren't going to be an issue
