I actually have to put something back on the bed when the truck was painted he took off the old ones just havent put the new ones on yet but i have them.

 

Well...I did a little work on her tonight and I'm gonna need a little directions since it deals with wiring. But before that, here's some pics of the finished exhaust.

I'll start from the back and go forwards...









Didn't take any pictures of it when it's on the ground but I'll take some tomorrow when the sun's out.

Also pulled out that backwards brake pad!!

Here's the metal plate side where the pistons usually push down on...you can see the wear marks from the rotor!



And here's the brake pad side where you can see where the pistons dug into it!



Re-installed it but the wheel is still sticking real bad!!



I jacked the truck up and stood on the wheel and it wouldn't spin with my full weight on it!! Took a video of it and I'll see if I can't post it later. Any ideas?

I also bolted up the inspection cover, had to go buy some bolts though because I was all out of bolts that size...



Here's the before...



And after...



Not sure why but it's a freaking relief to have that damn thing on...I know it's not a big deal but it kinda bugged me not having it on.

 

I'll get some pics tomorrow during the day time...keep your britches on!!

Yeah of course, not sure on how I want them to look yet but when the times comes I'll be sure to post up some pics, I don't see if happening for a couple weeks though, I have some other things to finish up first.

They are actually fairly priced. Labor rates is $75/hr and they actually rounded DOWN the hours and basically I paid $1,250 for parts and labor including the crossmember. Cut-outs I supplied myself though. Not bad right? Well at least for as complex and detailed as this was and the quality of the work I think I found a good shop.

Looks good man!! I saw your truck in another thread, definitely took some cue's from you but I'm gonna run it with a plate, I think it'll look good! We'll see though! Nice truck btw!!

 

Anyways, I ran the wiring for the Cut-outs, Fuel pressure gauge, and the Wideband...
Started up by soldering some extensions from the passenger side cut-out to the drivers side...



Half way done...



It's not easy soldering upside down right above your face!! Eye protection required!!

Put some heat shrink on it...



And then ran some wire loom and taped off the ends with electrical tape...



Then I ran those wires up and over the tranny, had to drill some holes in the bottom of the cab but made sure I didn't go through the cab, but I was able to attach it up into the tranny tunnel and clear of anything that would get it hot or snag it and rip it down...





Then I wired up the second cut-out with it and finally three-way'ed them into the switch wiring using those screw caps(not sure what they are called). Thought about soldering both sets of three together but that would of proved difficult given the tools I have which are limited. Wire loomed and electrical taped all of it and zip-tie'd it up and out of the way...



Next I ran all the wiring alongside the frame rail...



and into the cab, and while I was there I also ran the wiring for the electric FPR and also the Wideband...




Here they are coming into the cab, freaking tight in there!!



And I ran the FPR wire up on top of the dash, I have a triple gauge pod but it doesn't match with the interior but at this point I don't think I care! lol



So my only question is where should I tap in for power for the three items?
The Cut-outs I'd like to find a live wire inside the cab so I can open them regardless of whether the key is in the ignition or not, also can I ground the system inside the truck?
Here's the power and ground wires...



Should I plug them into the fuse panel? Here's the fuse panel that's inside the cab by the driver's door...




The FRP and the Wideband I need a wire that get's power when the key is in the on position and that wire I need to find it in the engine bay, anyone have any ideas on where I can tap into them?

Here's the engine bay fuse panel in case this is a good place to look for power...


I want it to be clean and not all hacked up looking so the best place you guys can recommend! If need be I'll dig into the wiring looms!

 

Exhaust is looking Pimp!

When I wired the cutouts on my camaro i tapped into the wires under the kick panel below the steering column. I had mine powered on only when the key was in the first position or truck was running which was the pink wire.
You can run them off the accesorry circuit which is the orange, or the constant power which is red there should be two of those

thats

but any who the exhaust looks real good the only thing is i would get it powder coated or ceramic coated just a thought as far as wiring the cutouts i would wire them like stated above inside the cab. why no picks of were the cutouts are dumped

oh we need video of how she sounds

 

The exhaust is a work of art! You might have already said this prior but what FI will you eventually run?

That rear brake that is stuck you might want to re-bleed that caliper again.I had to re-bleed mine because one caliper was sticking.

 

WoW!!! yeah man thats not a bad price at all actually, a little over my range now but i will definately hit them when i need my exhaust redone again. hhhmmm makes me wanna get a turbo sooner...

please tell me you didnt use wire nuts?????

 

thanks man and I want to put something there but i just havent found something to go around both of them that i like i may just take a piece of stainless i have sitting in the garage and make my own the exhaust looks **** by the way.
