I just about wrapped the exhaust up. The block hugger headers took a little work to make just right, my biggest problem was the air pump oil return line running to the pan.

I went with 2-1/2" mandrel bent tubing I fabricated, tig welded it all and ran it all the way out the back of the truck. I bought a set of used factory mufflers but decided not to use them and went with a set of 2 chamber mufflers. While I was at it I went ahead and put an H pipe on it too.
It's hard to believe how much the exhaust woke the truck up! I swear it felt like it added 50 horsepower! It doesn't sound bad at all either and where I put the mufflers there is next to no drone inside the cab either.

Pictures to come soon. I need to install 2 more hangers and it's done.
