Haven’t done much lately but I had this on the back burner and finally got to it today. I’ve been through 4 sets of exhaust tips on this thing...I was trying like hell to like the black tips but I just couldn’t do it. Didn’t want polished or chrome either and I decided I hate the double wall tips...and rolled edge tips. I tried both styles. I settled on 4” single wall brushed stainless but the only ones I could find with a 3” inlet were $70 each so I had to get creative. I found some 2.5” inlet polished tips for $14 each...cut them for a 3” inlet then spun them on a belt sander and got exactly what I wanted. I hate crooked tips so I fit them up with a spacer and welded both sets on together.

Dude!!! Shame you're so far away.. could teach me a thing or 1,000. Looks great! Just ordered the magnum air filter thanks to you. completely forgot about replacing the OEM
Top Water Grill is a great place! We charter 6 bay boats every year for our company fishing trip and always chow down there afterwards, well except for last year, bunch of sheep in the way... Lol
Exhaust done. Sounds great and I’ll have clips today. Zero drone but I can hear it on the highway...I think maybe that’s just how an SUV is with the tip exit just below the lift gate. I think some sound treatments in the lift gate and spare tire well will knock most of it out.

Would you mind sharing how much a custom setup like this cost as compared to the $2500ish im looking at with a Downpipe back setup from say Thermal R&D/SPD? Want to get the most out of my other planned mods and think 3” all the way back is just what I need. Depends on your answer though lol

$950 for SPD DP’s and probably $16-1800 in parts for the exhaust. I built it myself so there was no labor. If it was built by a shop I’d guess another $1000 in labor easily to MIG weld it...more to TIG it.
Jeez Louise. I don’t have the necessary skills to assemble. Looking like Thermal R&D DP back with SPD is making the most sense for me. Going to knock out IC and tune first per ZFG recommendation. Maybe other systems will rear their heads in the meantime. Thanks for the info!
Soon as my hose and fittings get here from Fore Innovations I’ll finally be adding the ethanol content sensor to my P3 Cars vent gauge. I swear that little gauge does everything.
Added the el cheapo pedal covers from Amazon. Actually way better quality than I expected and a perfect fit. Can’t go wrong for 25 bucks.
