Here’s some pictures of my all custom stainless steel exhaust. I went with a Vibrant resonator and a Borla muffler. I used a total of 3 stainless steel v-band clamps. This combination along with the Rock Ripper headers sounds amazing for the little 22R.

Seeing that header takes me back 42 years. :cool:
 
Where did you find the metric to -AN adapters?
 
Beautiful.

I do not appreciate flippers. I sincerely hope that this is not a flipper thread..
 
This thing is insane. @cruiserdan If he does decide to sell it when he is done, does that make him a flipper? I don't see it that way, given the level of detail and care that has gone into this thing. He has truly brought a ton of value to this truck, which I don't think "flippers" do. Flippers look for a good deal and do as little as possible to make maximum profit. This has been a labor of love on the part of @SMG
 
I see the distinction the same way @EWheeler... maybe because I'm restoring a truck I didn't plan on even buying. I bought it because it needed to be bought - rust-free, 58,000 miles, $4,500... I wasn't looking for a truck and just figured I'd start restoring it and someone would "have to have it" and I'd let it go. In the end, I decided to keep it. Well... until someone really really has to have it.

Thank you, I appreciate your comment.

I am not a flipper by no means. When I do finally sell the truck, I will definitely be on the losing end. (I have records/receipts to prove it). Not to mention the time I have invested.

Flippers do not take a loss. They flip to make a quick buck. This is not the case here.

I think you will get good money for it if marketed correctly. This thing will be worth it with the upgrades and level of detail.

Flipper or not. Still don’t change the fact that the work that has gone into this truck is awesome and have created a beautiful truck.

Keep up the good work and continue to post photos. It definitely inspires a guy like me and love looking at your meticulous work.
