Sounds like Dynomax or Thrush :) Which is what ill prob grab when i re-do the exhaust with 2.5" pipe...I hear there Thrush Welded Mufflers are basically the same as Flowmaster 40 series mufflers

I know these came from Jegs. Their house brand I think. Nice mufflers though, I can't wait to hear them!

If you grab the 2 inch to 2 1/4 thrush glass packs, itll sound more tame then thunder ;)

Thanks everyone. I'm starting to get PUMPED about this weekend. Between seeing everyone, and maybe driving my truck, its almost too much to handle. I love the fact that Rus is building my exhaust. Having something like that made by a good friend makes it extra cool, and let me say, Rus' work is TOP NOTCH!
BTW, the mufflers are JEGS brand welded mufflers, and I have had people tell me that they are Flowmaster seconds. The sure look like Flows. I caint wait to hear em rumble!!

Here are a couple other shots of the exhaust. One is of the drivers side and the other is a shot from the rear. The exhaust is now complete!

We didn't make it for the drive. We had an issue with the spark plugs due to my inexperience. They were actually being hit by the pistons. I chose a general purpose plug that was recommended on the board, but I guess they were for aluminum heads.

It will be soon, I hope. I have been sick in bed all day with some kind of virus or cold or something. I will hopefully have some updates soon. Chuck, I had a great time yesterday.

Re: Cubber's Build Thread

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 
Sorry, fellas. Slight tantrum there. It's just frustrating to know that there are tons of vehicles out there with the same issue, and when you try to find a plug in the same heat range but shorter, its like its never been done before. I told my wife that I was gonna take tonight off because I'm still not 100%, but that truck sitting out there being this close just aggravates the living you know what outta me.

I know what you mean buddy! Hang in there you will figure it out!
