It depends on the actual kit you ordered...what tip exit style did you order, and did you order a 409SS or 304SS system. I bought a 304SS for my own Squarebody and had to wait a while as well to get it. I can tell you that either one is worth the wait as you won't find anything else available with the same or better fitment or hardware quality.

Thanks for the response.
I ordered the 304ss exiting behind the rear tire. No biggie, Im sure it will be worth the wait. I just assumed that you guys had several of these built up and ready to ship out.
I guess I'm just anxious to get it installed haha.

I'm hoping that this setup with the x-pipe will eliminate the flutter sound that I am getting when i get on it. It's been driving me crazy, I've tried different mufflers as well, they mostly just changed how loud it was.

I adapted the 2.5" version of that same system onto my 79' C20 and it sounds awesome at all road speeds and throttle angles. I'll see if I can find out anything about the status of things on Monday.

I got word today from someone in charge that your exhaust system will be shipping out shortly.

Cool man, I appreciate you looking in to it. I can't wait to get it.
I got to drool over that red truck and the silver one at ls fest this year, I was hoping someone was around to start it up for me so I could hear the exhaust note, but no luck. Hopefully I'll be doing my own song and dance soon.
Thanks again!

Trust me, you're really going to appreciate the finished results of your install. Both of those trucks are really nice and great examples of what you can achieve using the entire Hooker swap system...you can bolt it all in over a weekend.
