I have the carid (2nd one) in my notes folder.@topnault I've left a couple of messages through your chat service. I'm assuming you've been busy wrapping up SEMA, etc.. so I'll be patient.
Regarding exhaust, I'm thinking about giving this a try (has anyone else?) https://shop.cruiserparts.net/index...t_info&cPath=2_4851_3270_3290&products_id=441
I have had mixed experiences when ordering from Cruiser Parts and their reputation on the sellers forum isn't very convincing. However, I was thinking of fabbing up a mid-pipe on my own (I have flanges) and then connecting to this muffler.
Another option is something along these lines: Walker® 22636 - Heavy Duty Steel Round Aluminized Exhaust Muffler (3" Offset ID, 3" Offset OD, 21" Length) - https://www.carid.com/walker/heavy-duty-steel-round-aluminized-exhaust-muffler-mpn-22636.html
Hi @dmaddox what did you use to finish the exhaust manifold and how has it held up? There are so many mixed reviews online for everything I've come across.Spent the day wrestling with the EGR restoration, fitting, etc..
Luckily, @ToyotaMatt provides an early and late EGR kit, so the hardware is fresh and made the job much easier.
I had two EGR setups, one was pretty chewed up and used, but was able to take both of them completely apart and restore a nice setup for the project.
I used high temp silver on the aluminum and high temp black on the cast iron back piece.
Fitting the EGR cooler:

After wrestling with it more, I had to remove and run an M10x1.25 (i think it was) tap into the block where the cooler mounted. That did the trick, as the engine paint, etc.. was quit built up.

I was lucky enough to have the rear exhaust shield. The front is in the mail. I should have it installed this week. It is important because it has the snorkel for the heat riser.
Here, I finished the support bracket and u-bolt for the accordion pipe:

Downpipe installed:

The downpipe has a support bracket that secures to the motor mount (rear left) - I didn't know this, until digging through some parts and realized THAT was what the bracket was for!
