WTF? You might say...



lol, yeah, that was my new exhaust hanger. I made a couple of them.

I hacked it off and replaced it with:

1 - 7' piece of flex pipe
2 - 3.5" exhaust clamps
6 - sheet metal screws
1 - large coffee

Sounds very lopey at idle, couldn't hear much over my tires at speed, but I picked up about 2psi up top. It went from 17 to just shy of 20.

After using a porta-band (battery powered band saw) to cut off the muff, I wiggled and tugged, and wiggled somemore... then I sprayed everything with WD-40... then I wiggled and tugged... and then finally got the muffler/tailpipe off.

So now I have no muffler and a really awful looking exhaust. I'll get better pics in the daylight. I'm preparing for my DP Tuner that should be here tomorrow.

I lost my auction on e-bay... but I've been offered a second chance!! I'm hoping this welfare looking exhaust will convince the wife that a little Magnaflow would do me good I can get it for $400 shipped.

BTW - I floored it on the way back to the house on the testdrive and my SES light came on and stayed on while I was WOT. Once I got off the pedal it went away. It has flashed a couple times since I've owned the truck... but only a couple. What could that be from?

 

Sweet, hillbilly deluxe. Did you run it out the side in front of the tire or just splice in the flex to OE?

That ses is likely the 1211 code having to do with HPO pressure not keeping up. That DP is gonna really give that light a workout. BTW, preparing for the DP tuner is having the PCM out and all cleaned up so the chip can go right on and the whole shebang gets slapped into the truck. 10 minutes max.

Yer gonna love it.

 

Still exits in stock location.

I will also have a boost anihilator in the same box as the DP... so I'm hoping the light goes away.... forever

6637 will probably go on this weekend.

I'm afraid of the fuel mods... I really don't want to blow this thing up just yet.

 

Not gonna happen. Jody will not sell you something like that. Of course a tranny on the way south has nothing to do with a chip except making it happen quicker due to the higher HP.

 

if you mean the ITP in tank kit...then do it..the hardest part was trying to understand the directions without doing the work..once you start the work and read the directions it is a breeze to do..the out come was well worth it..better paddle response..smoother idle and a lot less rattle at idle...

 

My wife would appreciate a quieter runner... but it doesn't bother me. I guess if it was quieter I wouldn't complain though

Waiting on some funds to work their way back into my pocket from the wife's, and then I'll be dropping the tank and then shimming the FPR.
