My truck"s custom exhaust rusted out recently starting at the outflow pipes of the muffler and in a few other areas downstream, most notably of the top of the arch over the axle.

I've installed a new magnaflow 24 inch muffler, 3 inch in, dual 2.5 inch outs. Sitting right where the old system was, and this is the same configuration as what was in there before. Can't complain really, as it lasted 8 years with snow in the winter, but now it's time to replace it.

Put new OEM hangars both front and rear of the axle as the old (original) ones were shot.

I wanted mandrel bent tubing and was trying to put everything together with clamps, get more of an original look and avoid having the welds rust -- that's what took out the last system.

Here's my dilemma. To complete this I have to get two straight sections with a 45° angles to get from the muffler to the axle, then two 90° bent pipes to go over the axle, then two more 45° angles to get the pipe going horizontal, the yet another two 45° angles to turn the pipes out behind the tire, and of course two straight pipes to finish the run. I'm starting to think I'm not really accomplishing anything by doing this. It won't be any cheaper than having a custom shop finish the work, and it won't look any better because I'm going to have about a bajillion clamps to hold the thing together.

You guys have any thoughts on which way I should go? Piece it together or let a shop do it? I don't have a way to bend my own or weld. Haven't priced it with a shop yet.

 

Magnaflow makes mandrel bent tail pipes(driver & passenger) for our trucks. There about $55 a piece from Summit or Jegs last time I looked. They might be of interest to you.

 

Thanks, I was piecing together the system I described on Summit. Looked again after reading your post.

Here's a one piece from Summit, right up my alley, but it says it goes out the driver's side. Funny, because I can't find it's mate which would go out the passenger side. Two of those (passenger sides) and I'd be good. Think I'm going to have to call. MagnaFlow 15018 - MagnaFlow Stainless Steel Exhaust Tailpipes - Overview - SummitRacing.com

Not finding anything on Jegs to match.

It did, thanks. Exactly what I need!

Don't know why I wasn't finding them myself, must be getting tired after doing truck and yard stuff all day.

 

Sure thing man.

 

I know this is an old thread
But has anyone actually used this drivers side tail pipe with dual exhaust with success?

Picture on dynomax's site shows it coming out almost in the middle of the left rear.
