So I got a hole in my exhaust...

Puttaputput · 05-14-08, 01:49 PM

As much as I like waking up my neighbors with my 3B (BJ-70), I'm starting to feel bad about it. I'm contemplating a few options on what to do.
1.) repair/patch the hole and save my money for other toys

2.) get a whole new stainless exhaust system

3.) aftermarket turbo AND stainless exhaust system

I'm leaning towards #1 (I want a new paint job) but I'd be interested in #3 if the price is right (the 3B is kinda weak IMO). Anybody know of a good shop or place in the Vancouver Canada area or know of a place I can order and DIY kit? The only thing done to the engine is fluid flush, accessory belts changed, and injector cleaned. Currently @ 157,000.

I have a good used exhaust system out of a 1985 BJ 70...$100.00 plus the ride on the Greyhound...its still in the truck and was not noisey at all

Best Regards

Thanks but the hole is thumb hole sized and I was gonna get a patch kit for it. I'd replace the whole thing only if it was a major upgrade.

If you plan to keep the 70 for a long time, I'd go with #3. The sooner you do it, the sooner you can enjoy it!

recommend any particular setup? Any local shops in vancouver area?

AXT (most common)
Turbo-Glide (more affordable)
Home Brew Turbo (even more affordable but more work)
