Re: John Lees Long Bed Exhaust for Short Bed Trucks (I6) with On the Shelf Parts

This is how much I removed from the center of the head pipe to shorten it up from long bed for short bed use...just shy of 11".



Muffler hanger for rear of the muffler in place and a bit too long, I shortened it by half to bring the exhaust up above the LR truck arm.



Everything tightened up. Exhaust hangers total four (forward of union, front of muff, rear of muff, tail pipe), clamps total four (two for union, two for muffler front and rear) Head pipe is in place - hope it seals with no gasket and no goo. I drew it up snug +...what ever that torque spec is...snug plus, thats funny. Ammo QA would kick my butt for that one.



Looking from the headpipe back to the union where I cut the head pipe to remove that almost 11" of unneeded pipe.



Ohh, thats pretty. Wonder if it'll sound as mellow as I remember?



Finally, the taip pipe in the right place, at the DS rear corner. A neat chrome turn down to finish it out.



That looks just right.
