not for me.Old news. Even my junk has been up there.
I haven't seen any of my stuff on there.
It was easy for those who volunteered as guinea pigs. I had really good odds for a little bit.

I feel kinda like Johnny cash. It's just one piece at a time. Then someday I can set out to assemble it all together.
Slowly my stainless steel exhaust is happening, @6872xtc
Next up is to pick up the pipes and header gaskets.
Unfortunately as much as I keep buying my summit cart doesn't decrease in size...

The truck isn't ever finished until you finish selling it.
That's not true with me. I typically get to a point where I consider it finished and move on to modifying other things.
Ok. But there's always ideas rolling around in my brain. That never stops even after the interest fades ..

I always have lots of stuff in my head, but I learned to draw a line

Well that's annoying... The headman's come with a collector that's for 2 1/2 pipe. (I assumed I was going to have to do something). In my quest to run a full wide open 3" pipe, this won't work.
A quick search on summits site nets me the correct ball and socket style reducer.
For 119 bucks...
A quick mock up nets me the fact that I'll probably have to buy this.
I am very tempted to weld the flex coupling to the 3 bolt flange. But that would look hack. And I would know.
Damn it.

My Hedmans were the same. Not sure why, as it was a 3 inch collector.

I was really looking forward to running the ball and socket style collecter. I knew it was going to come with a 2 1/2 reducer, but I figured I could cut it down to make it work. Nor did I figure that the collecter I need was going to be over 100 bucks.
Guess that's not much compared to what I already have in this exhaust. For my own hemorrhaging.
Headers. 671
Stage 8 header bolts. 103
Stage 8 collecter bolts. 26
Mufflers. 164
Flex pipe. 74
Remflex exhaust gaskets. 28
I think I'll blame @6872xtc for egging me on. LOL

Ha, guess I let you off to easy.
Think I'll go ahead and buy the collecter and I'll probably have to hold off on the spending for awhile. Stupid life.

Huh?? I found a couple for way less than 120 
Aluminized steel? I think that's a no-go in Beagle's eyes.
Never mind not stainless
