Caldwell, incase you are interested: midas wanted around 89.00 for the muffler back, added the tip and that boosted it up to $136.00 because of the tip and tax

Here comes the pictures:

Nate,

how come the piece's midas welded are crimped ?

they look like 2.25'' pipe with 2.5'' ends...

 

[NHarris]

Midas just has straight pipe and they "custom" bend it as it goes. I told them 2.5". Thats what they said they used and what the recipt says.
EDIT: The pipe I used the OD (outer diameter) is 2.5". They may not use ID, but OD. So it may be like a 2 3/8" exhaust pipe ID but 2.5" OD compared to a 2.5" ID probably has a 2 5/8 OD

 

[CALDWELL]

ok, i just want to get my exhaust back over the rear axle again so i can do a little more off roading this winter...

next project ?

 

[NHarris]

I'll go measure the pipe tomorrow. See what shows up as the OD. The truck pulls a lot better than before the work was done. I remembered the guys at Midas were worried that a 2.5" pipe wouldn't fit, but I told them do it anyway. If you look closely on the muffler pic you can see the pipe I bought is slightly smaller than the muffler inlet.

 

[NHarris]

Next project is probably sound system, then some cragar soft 8's or a set of custom wheels, then onto black headlights and LED tail lights with tail light guards. Maybe even a brush guard...

 

[NHarris]

Hopefully my final post in this thread The video I've been promising with a higher rev.


EDIT: I hope this thread will help anyone else out who's looking at a magnaflow exhaust!

We need to get the others on the forum. Definantly recognize the veiw Im keepin the mounty on the street( no off road) its the daily driver for the fam, but it doesnt hurt to have a really suped up DD though!

 

[NHarris]

Definately need some other people from utah on here. I've seen a few customized explorers, one looking like mine with the chrome grille. Unfortunately I haven't ran into that person yet, to refer them to the forum.
And exactly may as well have a suped up DD, and my X is my daily driver, and my "toy". I figured since the day I bought the truck with no mud on it, it needed some...
