New exhaust for the Disco

[Turbo]

The exhaust on my truck had been mangled, partially ripped off, modified multiple times, and in general, looked and sounded like ass. I ordered a straight stick of pipe, a Hooker Aerochamber, a y-pipe, and a bullet type muffler from Jegs. A friend gave me an old diesel exhaust (mandrel bends), and I rolled out the welder.

Old Y-pipe started life as 2", then had been crushed/kinked down to almost nothing...

Sure thing.

Well I have a welder, but I'm not a welder, if you get my drift.


The y-pipe turned out pretty sweet. The bullet muffler went in the cat position, and the extra 2-1/4 bends in above pics were to modify the left side for d-shaft clearance. I painted the y with bbq paint also. It's been on for a week or two and the only places it peeled were where I had primed over the welds.

how do you like the sound on it?

 

[Turbo]

I like it, probably because it's quieter than the junk it replaced, and it feels like it has a little more pep. Kinda sounds like a glass pack, only lots quieter and no "crackle" on decel.

hmmmmmm bbq flat black..... I have seen it so many times, yet I didnt think of it. Time to drop my exhaust down and do it

great stuff. i have been wanting to do an exhaust but is was done just before i bought the truck, can't bring myself to rip apart a perfectly good system. but when i goes i am either going with true duals right out the back or dual side pipes right under the rockers and side dumps about 2 inches behind the cab. either way i go it is going to be loud.
