Exhaust Kits
Has anyone ever bought an exhaust kit, from flowmaster, dynomax or something similar for your mid 80s truck? The type where you get all the parts and put it on yourself. All of the ones that I see have 3" inlets and I am needing 2 1/4". If so what make and model did you get?
Thanks

Sorry, never bought one for my trucks, but I did buy a flowmaster kit for my mustang. It came wirh pipes, muffs, clamps and hangers (welded on to the pipes/muffs, not the rubber parts).
For my trucks I've just run straight pipes after the cat. On the Bronco I had a muffler shop make a y pipe for me and some curved pipes based on drawings and templates (welding rod) that I brought to them. I made it exit out the rear (dual exit, one on each side of the tank) and it was a mistake. I drive with the rear window down alot and I could smell the exhaust in the truck. I took it off and put the stock side exit pipe back on.
I know on the Bronco (89) that the cat was 3" in 2 1/4" out. I though about modifying to 3" out but I never did. Has anyone tried this?
As for the kits, if they use a 3" in muff, then they should include an adaptor. I looked at a flowmaster system diagram for the 87-96 f150 and it looks like it uses an adaptor before the muffler to go from 2 1/4 to 3".
Good luck.
