spent the afternoon wire wheeling my stainless exhaust pipe, maaaaaaaaaan I forgot how labor intensive that is, finished 2 pieces.........I think I'll just mount it up the way it sits, have the local muffler shop weld a few more hangers to it for a little more strength, then remove it and have it coated.................down the road

thanks bro, appreciate that......I do have family in AZ so you never know


Got some more work done today......Joe came over and we were able to work on the wiring harness for a few hours...woot woot.

dropped of the exhaust tubing off to the media blaster to get cleaned up, the wire wheel just wasn't cleaning it fast enough.

picked up a few I/C fittings I had on order from the local hydraulic shop.

exhaust clamps showed up in the mail, that's about it

Any reason why your going with exhaust clamps rather than flanges? Is one better than the other?
