Welcome!

Does the exhaust need to be repaired or are you playing with it? Drive it for an while a come up with a game plan, but having said that, everyone on here has done something more than once.

I put in a new exhaust system in my truck. It had a six banger. One week later I took the truck apart. 368.00 for nothing. So I traded the system for spare parts, that I was going to need anyway. But, I will have to agree with everyone here. We have done things twice.

The guy i bought the truck from kinda butchered the exhaust. Its single exhaust with a glass pack and its just bouncing around and ratteling. Sounds like crap. I also had a cam swap done so it sounds a lil lumpy. Want/ need to get the exhaust done so i can drive it more. My current plan for the near future is...exhaust, smaller tires, and lowering it. Gonna cut a coil and a half up front and rear. I think the tires i have now will rub in front if i lower it b4 i get tires...any thoughts on my current tires and lowering it now?? Thanks!
