well i worked on the chevy trying to get rid of my mufflers so i can get some different ones
these are the ones i wanthttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FlowS...item5631e9dd9e

and i built a tranny crossmember out of 3/8 flat bar and im going to gusset it tomorrow
i think it looks pretty good if i had welded it prettier
ill post up some pics tomorrow
my brand new energy suspension tranny mount already broke (cheap made crap!!!!)

[jgh64pkup]

has anyone cut holes out of there trailing arm crossmember and welded pipe in it for the exhaust to go through
im planning on doing this soon
just wanted to know the best way to do it

[ChiefRocka]

That would be the way to do it...the way I would do it...although, some people just cut and go...

I think Frizzle has some pics.

[jgh64pkup]

i have some 1/4 wall 4 inch I.D. pipe that im going to use should fit perfect
would it be easier to do if i cut out the rivets and pulled the crossmember out and did it on the bench

No video yet ????????????

[jgh64pkup]

i know but ive got the exhaust off right now and my dad gets pissed off when i start it
but i will have some pics later

[shortbed70]

Cut a hole in a piece of plywood you can clamp to the area your wanting to cut to keep the saw centered. and from wondering.

[jgh64pkup]

thats a good idea

[jgh64pkup]

well i didnt get the pics i got busy cleaning up the mufflers
the guy should be here tomorrow to pick them up

[jgh64pkup]

the guy backed out on the mufflers and my dad made me get my truck out of the shop
so no pics or no new mufflers

[highperf4x4]

bummer

[joe231]

yeah that sucks.....

[jgh64pkup]

yep i tacked them back on today just to keep the noise down

[jgh64pkup]

well i got the holes cut but im out of argon so ill have to wait to put the pipe in
still tryin to sell my mufflers with no luck
dont ever try to cut the hole with a hole saw in between th framerails and trailing arms that sucks when you destroy your hand

[dammitmitchell]

that how you learn

[highperf4x4]

I'm strong enough to do it one-handed young grasshopper..............

I'm just sayin...............

[jgh64pkup]

yeah and how big are your arms
like i said i wouldnt want to piss you off or want to see somebody that pissed you off

[tiggamonsta]

It is all about how much pressure you put on the drill.

[jgh64pkup]

so true it also helps when the hole saw is sharp but after the first hole was cutting the second one was a *****
maybe i was using a wood holesaw
i cant tell the difference
