Re: 2.5 exhaust kit

I assume the kit works with long or short bed. You might want to confirm that if your truck is a long bed. And make sure the pipes are aluminized!

You know you'll have to make the connections from the collectors back to these pipes, right? You'll need some lengths of pipe for that, and may need to weld together some bends. An aftermarket trans crossmember might make things easier.

Finally, I'd suggest using band clamps instead of old-school clamps that crush the pipes. They are available for butt-joints and lap-joints.
