exhaust question
 
I had to chop my exhaust by the block to put on headers. The pipe on my truck is pretty small diameter and I had planned to take it to the exhaust shop once I get it on the road and pay $$$ to have all new ran.

Someone suggested using a reducer from the headers to the existing exhaust (free). I also have already bought 2.25" mufflers and would need a reducer from it to the exhaust as well.

Is this OK just to get it on the road or is this something you guys wouldn't recommend at all?

That'll work. I have the shop make up two 5' pieces of pipe made up with bell flanges and back to back 45s about 12" back to create an offset. I can rotate them to get over the crossmember and stick mufflers on to drive to the exhaust shop. That's a start for them and they finish the pipes off with whatever bends they need, then run the rest

Reducers are easy to find and it will get you on the road fast.

I say do it.
