The exhaust leak just wants to put you to sleep in the cab... which is a problem so we don't want to try and run it long without a new gasket. It also gets about 4 miles to the gallon with that setup so probably not going on any long distance highway runs.

I would love to see a picture of this setup, not that I would use it but I bet it looks different.
