Dang, how'd you know?

drewskiren · 03-09-2011, 02:17 AM

High and tight, neat and tidy, that's how I like it.

Much better at my second attempt at the exhaust system. I still have 1 cat to get rid of, but should be done tomorrow.

The best part is that I get to use the stout factory exhaust hangars, not that flimsy strap junk with holes the muffler shops use.

I told you you are going to have to bring it to me when you are done. No sense letting pride getting the way of things.

VA72C10 · 03-09-2011, 02:22 AM

That looks like a great fit. Nice job! Please tell me you'll spray it with high heat black or silver. The rest of the undercarriage is sooo pretty

Won't it just burn off? Do you know of one that stays put? I've never had much luck.

VA72C10 · 03-09-2011, 02:57 AM

I used the higher rated heat spray paint made for headers off the shelf from advance and it stayed on my camaro's exhaust for 75K daily driven miles.

**67cheby** · 03-09-2011, 10:54 AM

these factory exhausts are aluminized, here at the carlot our detail shop sprays the exhausts pipes and mufflers down with acid and then pressure wash them off and then they look like aluminum again

JasonBird · 03-09-2011, 01:20 PM

looks great drew!

JasonBird · 03-09-2011, 01:24 PM

boy, looking at that 3rd picture from the top in post #790, it looks like the driveshaft is going to be pretty close to what ever that thing is on the left behind the airtank...a pump or something?

It is close, I had the driveshaft installed once to check. Its about a half inch off of the carrier bearing mount.

Newtz67 · 03-09-2011, 09:06 PM

Comin right along... like it!

drewskiren · 03-10-2011, 01:22 AM

Took what was left of the Denali to the scrap yard (highly recommended).

Got $300 bucks!

On another note, If you ever want to know how much your truck weighs, take some scrap to your local scrap yard in your truck bed. You drive across scales when you go in and leave and the difference is what they pay you on. When you leave empty now, you have your truck's weight printed out. Take off yourself and there you go. Free!

drewskiren · 03-10-2011, 01:26 AM

Finished up the exhaust as promised. LOVE the factory hangars! I will have to get the tail pipes fitted at a muffler shop later, but this will be great to drive around until then. Last shot shows it higher than the frame rail. I am so stoked! All I need now is my Brown Santa to bring the paint.

Pop's C-10 · 03-09-2011, 01:57 PM

I like tha look of that set up..u should go high temp black on tha pipes & high temp silver on tha manifolds..and lose tha heat sheilds on tha manifolds

VA72C10 · 03-10-2011, 01:28 AM

I'm sure that made your wife and neighbors happy to get rid of that

VA72C10 · 03-10-2011, 01:30 AM

Exhaust turned out great so far!

dlturner00 · 03-10-2011, 08:36 AM

Wow! I just went through this thread last night. What an undertaking! I've thought about attempting this myself with my 69 LWB. I could probably do the work but finding the time and money is my problem. I thought about just swapping my body over to a later model chassis, but I just don't know if I could dedicate myself to the extent you have. I have to say, for someone who doesn't do this for a living, you have a lot of skill. Maybe you should consider a new line of work. I am definitely impressed and I will be keeping up with your project. Thanks for posting all this info. Maybe it will inspire me.

**67cheby** · 03-10-2011, 10:50 AM

i love how everything is tucked in nice between the frame rails ...looks great

ERASER5 · 03-10-2011, 11:54 AM

That Denali was a boat load!

Thanks, I have it easy though because the newer frame rails are wider so there is more room in between.
