Slick got new exhaust!

My buddy Russell(Rusbuilt) built me a new, stainless exhaust for my truck! I reused the Magnaflows I had, but he fabricated the pipes from a builders kit, and tig welded it all together. He also used the Deadend Garage cutouts to run the pipes through the crossmember. The TCI suspension creates for a difficult way to route everything all the way to the rear, and I don't like exhaust dumped in front of the axle or before the rear tires. It's also a modular system with V band clamps to make it removable to service anything if the need arises. I'm pretty proud of it, so I wanted to share photos. I'll get some sound clips and videos, soon.

Very nice! He did a great job of routing the pipes, not as easy as it may look. Like the V band clamps too, especially when you need to take it apart.

Hope you cleaned the shop for him or at least bought him a drink. That is some A+ work, looks awesome.
