I am bored, and funny stuff happens when I am bored. I was about to rip all that stuff off of my muffler, but I want people to see it at school. Does that heatshield thing that is over the muffler really do anything? One of the bolts broke off when I was tightening it up. Can I just remove it? I want to cover what is left of my tailpipe with some flexy exhaust stuff, but I don't know how expensive it is. I might run over to the parts store and check it out. I don't want to put to much money into this old crappy stuff, so whatever. We'll see what happens.

lol!! $Beer Chug\'n$

HAHAHA! You couldnt have said it any better

That was the most ridiculous/ghetto/awesome/redneck fix ive seen in a while. That was amazing.

KDXSR5 · « **Reply #64 on:** Nov 03, 2007, 05:59:06 PM »

I added more; Since the bottom of the tailpipe from the muffler back was gone, I went and bought some universal 1.75 inch flexy tail pipe to slide over it. The pipe was also coming out of the back of the muffler, so I bail wired it back to the muffler hanger. You will see. I hope the pics turn out alright; it is nighttime right now.

Total for this whole project: A little less than $15
Most expensive thing: GAS

Least expensive thing: Bailing wire and can.

overall pic:

Pic of previously installed custom hanger:

Hanger to muffler:

This is where the tailpipe is kind of broken off of the muffler:

Pics of holder from pipe to muffler hanger, I made a loop at the top of the "S" went around the hanger, then made another loop down by the muffler. I then spun the two wire parts together.

I guess I will call that a good days work.

nicely done

Thank you, thank you! I have been needing to practice my "trailer park fab" skillz. Now most of my exhaust comes out of the back of my tailpipe!

I heard Fontucky Fab is hiring.....PM Infernal for details

i think all that exhaust filtering into your cab had something to do with it lol

KDXSR5 · « **Reply #70 on:** Nov 03, 2007, 07:42:13 PM »

You guys make me laugh!

I was going to go apply for Fontucky Fab, but the job is too far away. If I commute for that long, I will probably die from the exhaust gases. Plus the benifits were not as good as I was looking for. I don't want apply for a job that leaves a question mark under the title of dental plan.

Guess what I just ordered...

LCE Header and Test Pipe!!!

I guess I am getting this show on the road sooner than planned.

This is the most expensive thing I have bought for my truck so far...this is like $450

Thomas P · « **Reply #73 on:** Nov 04, 2007, 09:40:59 PM »

2.25 flexy tube?

Thomas P · « **Reply #74 on:** Nov 04, 2007, 09:42:23 PM »

lc stuff?? no more flexy tube?

?

KDXSR5 · « **Reply #75 on:** Nov 04, 2007, 09:43:50 PM »

What? No! I ordered the header and test pipe. I will drive it down to muffler shop. Have them bend up mandrel tube from testpipe back using magnaflow xl muffler. If I used flex tube with my new stuff I would laugh at myself and hit myself upside the head.

Edit: correct, my $15 experiment is over, and it worked well enough for now. I might keep the flex tube and such as a souvenir. I might hang it on the garage wall to remind me of the fun times I had learning and utilizing my super redneck fab skillz.

Thomas P · « **Reply #76 on:** Nov 04, 2007, 09:45:35 PM »

i just had to say it..... glad to hear about the new stuff you will be very happy

KDXSR5 · « **Reply #77 on:** Nov 04, 2007, 09:53:14 PM »

I hope so, its some expensive

I went with the LCE header too. Really happy with it. As for the muffler, looks like your set on the magnaflow. I am running the flowmaster 40 series delta flow, and I like it alot. I dont have experience with the magnaflow, but I heard they are quieter than the flowmaster. I like the flowmaster because you could probably drive your truck on top of it. Yes they are spot welded on the inside...but they are solid and can take the abuse. I went through the same dilema, what muffler to use. Its really just personal preference. Just stay away from the glasspacks, they sound horrible an a 4 banger IMO.

ive got the magnaflow and its really nice, i havent heard it with the header yet though... i got the thorley

I completely agree. They sound absolutely horrible on 4 cyl. engines. My friend has a cherrybomb on his 92 with stock manifold, and holy crap! It is loud and sounds like

I hope mine sounds nice and somewhat quiet. I bet the thorley and LCE headers aren't that different performance wise for our application. Now if we were racing then yes, it would make a difference, maybe. I bet mine will sound very similar to yours when done. Ok, bedtime.

KDXSR5 · « **Reply #81 on:** Nov 10, 2007, 10:52:19 PM »

I found a video of a carbed 22r with a magnaflow and a header... it sounds pretty decent!

Also, my super awesome/ghetto exhaust fix failed monday morning (two days after performing the fix), so I took a few more cans and bail wired them on. It turns out that toyota mufflers get very hot, and it burnt that wrap stuff and proceded to blow through the tube that was used to cover the hole. Boy did it smell terrible!

pics, no repair pics, because I am lazy:

doesnt sound like mine..............

skyscraper · « **Reply #83 on:** Nov 11, 2007, 11:25:33 AM »

sounds a little like mine at idle, but mine doesnt have that ricey sound when you rev it up. Its more of a deep growl. BTW that is one clean engine.

KDXSR5 · « **Reply #84 on:** Nov 12, 2007, 05:29:43 PM »

Guess what arrived today! Header and test pipe!

And my helper, Jesse:

Congrats! At least they put your gasket in plastic, mine got bent in the box and now it leaks. Need to talk to them about it....

Thank you, thank you. ^He's got the idea!^ I guess I will have to withdraw my application to Fontucky Fab now. $I\'m Down$

ps sorry to here about your gasket. This whole process has been wonderful. I have yet to have a problem with LCE. It did take a bit longer than I had hoped to ship, but that is about it.

Thomas P · « **Reply #89 on:** Nov 12, 2007, 10:31:48 PM »

yeah they wont take you now that you have a new exhaust going in
