Ron(WE b Old) came down today and gave me a seat back(very badly needed) and other useful stuff, and along with that is the old exhaust system he had before he got the Flow Masters. I just now got done cutting off enough of the old pipe(the part that hadn't rusted off) to put the replacement pipes on. Then I stuck on the pipe that is supposed to lead to the muffler section(the pipes aren't all connected yet) and held it on with the help of a jack and some bailing wire, and fired it up to see what it sounds like. It makes a WORLD of difference, just going from the old pipe that had rusted in half before the muffler just to switch it to the new pipe. I am now contemplating if I even want to put on the mufflers, but considering how loud it will be, I probably will put them on.

I think it would be wise to start out with mufflers anyway. wink

Well, I just now got the first piece on. But now I'm having bigger problems. My door won't close!

If the door won't close after you put the exhaust pipe on Jordan then you put the pipe on wrong, it's supposed to go down under the frame not thru the cab and out the door opening.

HAHAHA!!!! No, but I got the door latching now, it has something to do with the door pillar/kick panel area.
