Re: Inspiration for the Projects that Take Forever!

Thanks for the good comments. The truck is all legal now, but yesterday was raining and nasty, so the truck got broke in right out of the gate. I spent all day running around getting the exhaust, alignment, plates and such takin care of. And, then spent a few hours rinsing it off and drying it. All in all, a good day with good results. It feels real good to see tailpipes on it, but I have to admit...I'm going to miss the loud rumble of the open exhaust manifolds (the neighbors won't however - lol).

I used the #17749 - Dynomax Super Turbo Mufflers) with the #35204 - MagnaFlow Stainless Steel Exhaust Tips. It's so much more quiet than the open exhaust. It does have some drone to it at about 2000 rpm at 35ish mph, but not at higher speeds. I'll let that sink in for a while and see if it bothers me enough to do something about it.

I'm glad to see some motivation for those of you on the long road. Not that I meant to make you work, but get after IT!
