tailpipe trouble

i've got a 2001 f150 crew ,dual pipes out the back (one on either side of the trailer hitch) well they rusted where they were bent over the rear axle. I'm looking to replace them myself,but I can't find the tailpipes any place, allready bent.surely my f150 can't be the only one like this????I need an assist on this one. brutus .

Did you buy your F-150 new? I have NEVER seen a stock F-150 with rear duals, and having one on each side of the hitch. That definitely does not sound factory. The only trucks I have seen like that are limited special sport/racing models, and the new 09 dodge.

That's a custom exhaust. It might be an aftermarket like Borla, Gibson, or Flowmax, but most are custom bent. Just go to an exhaust shop and have them make up the new pipes for you-

Dual exhaust is a common mod on trucks, but it certainly isn't factory. Good luck in getting your exhaust all fixed up

You could always by pre-bent stuff from Summit to make or patch your current system.
