Re: Barn raising

A little bit of an update on the "other woman" as my wife calls it.
I had Ed Hanson muffler service install a set of Patriot side pipes. The pipes come with a silly four into one collector that only has one functioning pipe. I deleted that and bought a 3.5 mandrel bent 90* pipe and had it chromed. Since these mandrel bent exhaust pipes are just pieces and not custom for the truck I had to weld a piece onto the end of the 90*. It came out great and chromed up awesome.





Here is the weld



Here is the mock up when I first got the side pipes, although I like the look of the collector, it is non-functioning so I remade it so it all works.
