WTF!?

[White98]

So I had my dual exhaust put on yesterday. Dual Thrush Welded, with exit in front of passenger side tire. With the 3 inch body lift it has, the friggin pipes are about 6 inches lower than the body. Looks like **** IMO. Sounds good, but I hate how it looks. If I was there when the guy did it, I wouldn't have let him do it that way! Any suggestions? I'm thinking about having the shop cut those off and dump it.

I don't like any tailpipe or turndown at all, so I say get under there with a sawzall.

Sounds like a hell of an idea.
Just afraid of droning. I'm getting too old for that. LOL

Have them re-run it over the frame the out the side closer to the body.

Make them redo it. I wouldn't have taken truck till I was happy with the job!

X2 I would have had them fix it right then and there.

I kinda didn't have a choice. I had dropped the truck off to get the work done while I was at work and didn't pick it up til after the shop closed. I called him this morning to tell him it needs to be reworked. He told me he's on vacation all next week, and to come see him after that. I think I could've done a better job welding it myself!

When/if you run it between the frame and body, make sure they brace the pipe to both frame and body where it passes thru. You certainly don't want the exhaust settling or coming loose on some bouncy offroad adventure and rattle-canning between frame rails and body. That can get VERY annoying.

Thanks for the heads-up. I appreciate any good info. I'm actually thinking about having it taken back and dumped by the axle.

Ok, just make sure it's got turndowns, you don't want the exhaust baking your axle tube.
