my truck is a 92 4x4.

needed a new exhaust, since I killed a weld 4 wheeling and then developed rot on the muffler. had to pull the truck from use until I could find a worthwhile replacement.

I thought of the usual suspects......had a configuration in mind using a glasspack or a 40 series muffler to get that good tone.

I SEARCHED and SEARCHED until I came across this one night (hopefully the link works for everyone....if not, search "BOSAL 286-219"...that is the part specific to my truck) http://www.partsgeek.com/gbproducts/...gle+Base&fp=pp


I am "thrifty", "cheap", "frugal" and whatever word you want to use when it comes to spending money. I hate to spend money. I also hate the idea of paying someone to do stuff for me. especially since my feet are more than just a little wet after 2 builds. BUT, not having a welder and not knowing how to weld, my choices were to buy something and plumb it together with goop and clamps or pay someone to weld it.

when I found this for $73 delivered to my door, I knew it was worth a shot. If nothing more, it will get me inspected and back on the road. Hopefully, I will get a year or 2 or 5 out of it. if not, it's cheap enough and easy enough to do, that it won't be a huge pain in the butt, or wallet, to do it again.

no sound change, but I hear that gets annoying anyway.

disconnecting form the catalytic converter is a HUGE pain! but once I used all the tools I had and tricks I knew, I finally took the grinder to the nuts and cut them off and disconnected. after that it was a matter of cleaning up the connection a bit, throwing a leftover donut gasket on there, some new bolts and I was good to go.

this comes complete with all welds and bends and even the hangers are in the exact right spot.

basically this is an easy bolt-on fix.

for $73, I feel I done good.

3 days after I ordered it, it was sitting waiting for me. not so much on the packaging, but hey, so what.



after a little grinder action....



and it's good...no leaks....and this project is done.



hope this helps someone looking for an exhaust. this was the best price I could find.....others wanted over $100. I feel like I should get a few more and store them for the future....but I probably won't.

 

How does it sound?

 

great. not obnoxious. a little rumble at idle. so far, very pleased.

 

is it a performance exhaust, or is it just supposed to replace the stock one in case it breaks, needs to be replaced, etc?

 

adds like 50HP.



no.


just a stock replacement.

 

okay I thought so. Very nice price though, that's quite a find

 

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for, just order one, hopefully it gets here and fits as nicely as yours.

 

What is the exactly price for this? Share some more details.

 

Was your truck an SR5 xtracab VZN110 ?

 

Ignore my question, the link took me to your part.....4cylinder
