i went an priced a down pipe and piping back to my cab and a single 6" bullhauler. 275 for the pipng 170 for the stack not including the flex pipe and clamps and stuff. i also need a way to hold it to my bed. i dont really want to drill a hole and use a bolt. im thinking about using one of those staxx clamps. any suggestions. i went a got an elbow. when ever you get your controller ill just take yours. im in no need for big boost yet.

How big of a clamp did you get? Do you think you'll ever have to buy another one like the other clamps out there that break and rust?

7" and its a ridiculous price unless its made of 10k gold

I have a regular chrome clamp now, and a bracket I made to mount it that cost me $24 instead, it wont ever rust off in the life of this truck and even if it did, i could by 10 of them before justifying the cost of $250.

leonard, if you can find them try the PIAA headlight replacement bulbs, mike has them and they are BRIGHT!! also dont forget to take ALL the required screws out so you dont break the headlight like i almost did on my dads truck, the one in the back was hidden and i almost pried it out before i found it.

boots, if you bring it down here to essex i can weld it on for you. prolly needs to have the chrome gound off first to get a good weld anyway.

we can cut some notches in it and close it up to 5-1/2" plus i have a good welder here.

if you come down tomorrow and do he work to take it off the truck i'll weld it, but i haven't been feeling good and dont feel like crawling on the cold ground under a truck.
