Out-Patient Surgery - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

S10Fan · 02-08-2010, 08:37 PM

I performed a little surgery on the Heap's exhaust this morning. From the day I added the Meg tips to the exhaust the look/placement has bugged me. The pipes were too long and low for my liking. So I pull up in the driveway this morning and I'm starring right at the pipes, that's it, today's the day.

I filled up the rear bags to get her off the ground, grabbed a sawzall, Sharpie, tape measure, couple wrenches, and commenced to cutting. A few minutes with the welder and I think they look way better now.

Here's a "Before" and a couple "After" shots.........................

That helped a ton. Nice job. Placement of exhaust is one of those things that bugs mee too when it is "not right".

S10Fan · 02-09-2010, 06:28 AM

Thanks to all!

Now I'm trying to decide between the black tips and a brand new pair of still in the box chrome duplicates.

Restrorob · 02-09-2010, 07:54 AM

IMO, A little chrome on the back could add a little more bling to it !

dga93 · 02-09-2010, 09:13 AM

That looks so much better!!
Nice work mate

thirdstreettito · 02-09-2010, 09:17 AM

Hawt.

Southcity · 02-09-2010, 02:04 PM

IMO, either black or chrome will look good but the chrome tips require a bit more upkeep to keep that shine.

CHEESE · 02-09-2010, 02:18 PM

Placement looks great now!! Good job, she is lookin good!!
