I needed to fix my truck. Exhaust was leaking and rattling so I decided to upgrade at the same time. I hate working on exhaust without a lift and hopefully I won't have to do this again soon.
Because of the way the gas tank and spare sit, I won't be able to run true duals on this truck without some stupid routing. Instead, I got an Edelbrock SDT muffler with dual 2.25" in and a single 3" exit. This coupled with new tubing - a $100 2.25" builders kit from Mandrel Bending Solutions, flex couplers, flanges, gaskets and everything else is going to run me about $400 shipped and I still need to weld it up myself. That's OK because it will be a complete custom kit, but its still $400 that I didn't want to spend.
Here's what I ordered:

Fast forward after the magic elves did all the work yesterday and today....
Done (mostly) and painted.

And a little video. No drive-by shots, but this gives you an idea of what it sounds like. Needless to say this was a pain in the ***. I hate working on the exhaust of this truck. Plus my nozzle on my welder went on the fritz and I couldn't find a new one that was close to home on a Sunday. Oh well, its done, doesn't leak and sounds good.
