So the other day I got permission to raid the scrap hopper from our prototype department at work. I grabbed a bunch of stainless 3 inch mandrel bent pipe and a muffler, and went to work over the weekend replacing my crappy stock system.

New specs:
- 3 inch from the y pipe back
- No cat converter ( No emissions checks of any kind in Michigan :D)
- An unknown experimental muffler

All in all it turned out pretty well. I ended up having to go back and splice in a few more slight bends to fix a misalignment I didn't see initially, but other than that it worked out without a hitch. I just wish I would have had stainless steel wire instead of the flux cored stuff, but I think that's the least of worries about rust on my truck :rolleyes:. For the most part, I just cut and fit bends that looked like they would work and tacked them together underneath the truck:

preety good.. maybe a little too loud for everyday commuting but it'll do ;) kinda sounds like a mix between a new gto and a diesel if that makes any flippin sense
 
It looks pretty good, muffler looks like some kind of cherry bomb or something. You should put up a video or audio clip of it, and those body mount cups look pretty rusty, :p:
 
heres a shot of the muffler.. does seem like a cheery bomb kinda deal
