New to the group here. Just wanted to know where you picked it up and what it set you back.

Thanks!

as far as seat of the pants I really have not felt much difference. It did help with some of my pinging problems but not all.

What type of exhaust system did you put on and what size pipe? Mandrel bent or pressure bent?

As you can see in the pic the I extended the Y-pipe so it would reach my catback & there is a bottle neck here too. I am going to get a resenated testpipe & shorten the Y & loose that bottle neck.

if your like me and you high center a lot when wheeling youll crush that in a heart beat.

i ALWAYS get high centered on the trans crossmember (there are eventual plans to but a body lift and 2"motor mounts on and new flat belly skid but...)

anyway id squish that in the first 20 min of wheeling at the badlands.

if thats the one that runs from the front A-arm xmember back to the trans xmember perhaps. but if memory serves its not an inexpensive belly pan nor is it lite.

Are the pipes coming off the headers 2.25"?

And your catback is a 2" pipe?

Shouldn't the catback be at least 2.5"?

It seems like this may be why you haven't felt much difference.

Someone crrect me if I'm wrong or have missed something, please.

the crossover pipes are 2ID/2.25OD & the merge after the Y is 2.25ID/2.5OD the LCE catback is 2ID/2.25OD
As far as the catback my motor is stock so 2.5 OD would be too big for the amount of HP/TQ I have
I stick to mostly trail ridding now as opposed to rock crawling when I get to the point of doing more on rocks I will have to do something about that crossover pipe.

looks like fun...but you cheated! You've got a 2 post lift!!!

So it was about 12 days since your 1st post on recieving them, so how long do ya figure it took to install 'em? Any issues??

I'd send that cross over pipe & that crap O2 reduction pipe back & tell 'em to shove it up their @ss !!

Thanks again for the pics!!
