Dropped the old girl off to have the exhaust finished out. I am not a patient enough welder, so I took it to the professionals. Looking forward to not having the booming in the cab at idle. The exhaust waves get stuck under the truck and booms. Tested out the cruise on the highway, and it works like a champ. It's the little things in life!

Let us know what the new setup is!

Re: 1972 SWB Build
 

Threading the needle. I went down at lunch. We were trying to determine where to have the exhaust exit. 90° behind the head wheel, 45° behind the rear wheel or straight out with a slight slash tip tucked behind/below the bumper/. Straight out seem to look the best with everything that was going on and not getting to crazy on the bends and welding. He's hopeful to have it done tomorrow.

Going to be nice! Can't wait to hear it

Re: 1972 SWB Build
 

Me too. I am excited to hear it.

The shop sent some pictures last night. Nice and tucked.

I think that is the perfect placement for the tips! Looks awesome. I hope she quiets down enough for you now.

Re: 1972 SWB Build
 

I am anxious to see it in person. Part of the problem is the cab has no carpet on the back wall and no headliner. It's a bit of a steel trap in there. I do have dynomat strips on the back wall. I may put some carpet back there too. Another project.

Re: 1972 SWB Build
 

I recommend closed cell foam insulation everywhere ALONG with the butyl mats like dynomat. It really completes the sound deadening process. Then carpet on top of that.

Back wall and firewall for all of these products.

I used this stuff, sticks well.
