$475!! Try this one, http://shop.ivalueinternet.com/bigex...ct_id/2426.htm. $344 if you choose no muffler. Are 3 hangers worth the extra expense? Reuse your old ones, or spend $5 at your local parts house for some universal hangers. I used the factory hanger at the bellhousing, then the other three hangers I bought at Autozone, one behind the t-case, front of rear axle, then the last for the tailpipe. I could have used my factory hangers, but I cut all them off way back when when I installed stacks.

Just answering my on ???

Cut just after the ex.brake and install a 3" to 4" adapter!!

looking at my straight pipe ex. and notist the bad angles that are req. to go throw the crossmember and the t-case.
I think that if i was to buy just that part, that went thru there, i would gain a lot of flow....that is if thay are mangrel bends! mine are not! ......Na i'll what tell i can buy the hole system.

Sorry just thinging (typing) out loud!!!

I like it alot. You can order it piece by piece, minus muffler, minus downpipe, however you want it. I ordered it with muffler and minus downpipe, oh and no chrome tip. I built a 4" downpipe.

Bigexhaust.com seems to be a good choice for us cheap 1st genners. I know of a couple other members here and there that went this route and are happy. When my crewcab gets the Cummins I will order me another kit from them.

Thats awsome, when you order the kit do they ask you what cab you have so then can send you the correct length? I see alot of people payin from 475 -600 . I dodn't see do they sell turn down tips?
