Ok-
So I have been looking for a good pipe that runs straight back, obviously, no luck for the MT truck. So, looking at the Factory Tuned pipe that came with my PRO, I came up with an idea. I decided to cut the bends out of the pipe and connect the expansion chamber to the two bolt flange. I used a 1.5inch piece of hose to connect them (temporarily until I can get some HT silicone tubing). I did not want to weld them, to avoid rigidity, that way in an accident it will come apart at the coupler instead of snapping welds..
I took the straight piece out of the bent tubing and welded it to the back of the pipe after cutting off the turn down from the factory. It pokes out of the body about 1/4inch. No pipe in the way and looks clean.
You will have to cut the shock brace in order for the pipe to fit under the body. I also put heat proof rubber in between the rear body mount and pipe to keep it from moving and act as a thermal barrier..
This pipe ROCKS, It exceeded all expectations. It sounds good and the engine runs good with it. Alot of response and RPM over the old version and my side mount Jet pro. The pipe inlet was ported to increase flow and the pipe was opened a bit more to work with the higher power output of the Ported 36cc I just installed.
Here is a vid of the project nearly done, and a pic to see the body exit.
