Alright guys so i know no one makesa 4 inch exhaust kit for these older model trucks like the 80s but i've seen everyone making their own kit that turns out in front of the rear wheel.
How do yall goa bout doing that? using the factory hangers and where did you all get your pipe from with the 90's and what not??

 

i am sure you can re-use the factory hangers. here is a nice place with all kinds of exhaust parts.....Exhaust Elbows

 

Beutiful, you sent me that link before and i thought i bookmarked it but i looked for it and it wasn't there. Thats what i was lookin for thanks man!

 

yeah no prob. there is a thread i am thinking off that shows an under body shot of a turn out exhaust. i will try to find the picture.

 

sweet. I'd love to hear how some people pieced theirs together.
Kind of confusing cause you gotta have a really slight angle at the very front to make it over the crossmember right before.
So gotta have that angled pipe and then ANOTHER piece to counteract that angle and make it straight again and from tehre its just straight pieces and a 90

 

oh yeah, i also forgot that you have to go under the frame rail lol

 

this is what i was thinking of. guess it doesn't show all that much...

 

Hmmm. that last piece is definitely a need, haha. thats a perfect bend

 

i know for sure that diamond eye kits have a two-piece tail pipe.............

 

Its supposed to be the bend that goes over the axle on factory routing

Not all of them, my diamond eye kit is only single tail pipe.

 

Daggone i wish i could find just that one piece, i cant seem to find it at all

 

i might have a part number for the over the axle piece from my diamond eye kit. i can post it up if i can find it. might be able to call them and see if the can sell it by itself.

 

That would be awesome. I mean i could live with just a 90 straight out the side, but that diagonal just looks really nice. Let me know if you find it!

 

i will go out and look right now, but honestly i thing it would be easier to get a straight junk of pipe, have that end where you want and then get a 45* bend, then some more straight if you are going after the angle exit. if you go to my profile and search my past threads there is one were i installed my exhaust and you can see the bends that my tail pipe takes and it is a bit different from the one pictured above.

 

I have read most people can't bend over like 3"?
