Replaced muffler and exhaust pipe...Victory!

BTW, can't find the Y Pipe from Walker in stock anywhere.

this has been my experience as well. I think they make them on order, but no one will tell me now long it takes. maybe if we hit them with a group buy?, heck, at that rate, they ought to also make us the down pipes, too...Who wants to spearhead?

It sounds like he made his own gaskets for the bolt together sections such as the mid pipe forward.

YEP! You got it, that's what the sheet was for. Couldn't find gaskets at the time and making them is easy.
I am with LAMBCRUSHER....a group buy in. Maybe we can get a better price....

Downpipe w/ flange? Yes please. Mine is in sad shape. @HemiAlex maybe we can all simply get a new pipe.

I'd buy a downpipe right now.

I'm having a hard time with my exhaust for few reasons. I won't say how much I've got in it.

I got lucky and found the downpipe when I was at the local PnP yard a couple weekends ago. Person that scavenged the entire truck first took everything else with the drivetrain AND cut out the CAT but didn't take the downpipe. Was a bit surprised by that. So I grabbed it and just welded up the small section that goes to the EGR (since I am smogged) as that pipe was dented and bent from being thrown on the ground and trampled while they pulled drivetrain (I assume). Then the other night took some welding practice and cleaned up the cut end and welded on a 2" to 2 1/2" adapter so I can run a full 2.5" exhaust from downpipe back. Means I will need a new CAT but pretty sure that mine is dead (hear some rattling from it while running, especially warming up in the morning, plus gas smell).

My rubber hangers were toast. I replaced them with walker ones. They fit in the holes fine but the rear of the tail pipe touches the bumper. Anyone else's making contact? I guess I could it short or get a local place to extend the bracket. My engine is out so all I have in place if the new walker muffler and tailpipe.

Once the engine is in place, ect, could be the angle will change so its not rubbing?

Not really because the muffler has a bracket as well. I wonder of the walker rubber hangers are just taller than stock or if I got a bum tailpipe.
