Exhaust and Tailgate repair with pics. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

When I was working on the cab corners, my exhaust system decided to "speak to me"...... while the engine wasn't running. It sounded like a BANG. The left side exhaust was sitting on the ground. It broke at one of the rear hangers. I was planning on dumping the pipes over the rear-end but I decided to just fix it now. I added new hangers, and dumped it in front of the rear. It's respectable and it's hidden which is nice. Sounds deeper now but the Dynomax Super Turbos are relatively quiet, no drone even dumped, I like that compared to my Flowmaster days! I heard the super turbos are one of the better flowing mufflers too.

I also grinded away the rot from the bottom lip of my tailgate. I applied Zero Rust to the back side and this weekend I plan on welding and filling in the rotted holes.

if you want excellent flow go with a 28 inch thrush glass packs they are still quite but with a little noise plus they are very cheap.

p.s. Nice job!
