It's now 12:07pm....and I've just gotten home from work...which I started at 8:30pm yesterday.
The exhaust is DONE!!!
Unfortunately I didn't have my camera at work....so only pic' are of it all finished and mounted.
Sounds very nice!
Made my own hangers from stainless flat and old conveyor belt we had laying around at work.

Update....
Couldn't find the tips I wanted....so resorted to making some.
A couple of 4" to 3" reducers and some 4" tubing.
TIG'd
Pickled.
I'll get a couple of 3" pieces flared to make them a neat slide over fit, weld them on the 3" end of the reducers and then slot them and make and tig a clamping setup to them.
Took a couple of short pieces of the 3" to my exhaust guy this afternoon and he flared the ends for me to make it a slip fit.
I then cut them to size and TIG'd them onto the other ends of the reducers.
Here you can see the flare:
This pic shows how a piece of 3" slips into the flared end:
Next is to put a slot in the flared end and TIG a stainless block either side of the slot. Then I'll drill and tap them and use stainless allen key type bolts to pull them together clamping them onto the 3" exhaust.
Got one side done..real happy with how it turned out!
Now I just have to make the other side to match. (tonight hopefully...have a12hr shift so should be able to get it done).
Decided to go with the flange idea because the tips are pretty heavy...and I had visions of one coming off and spearing someone through their windscreen. :o
both flnges are welded right around.....it's a slip fit until the flanges meet and then they just bolt together.

Thanks guys...not bad for an electrician huh? Lol!
Got around to installing the other tip last night.
Makes a HUGE difference to 'in cab' noise/drone.
