Default Ahhh, my girl :)

Only my little girl can take something so tough and manly as performance exhaust parts and make it cute and cuddly. The UPS man showed up today with what will be the first mods right after I get the FLT Level7 in...had some paypal money so I figured what the heck.

Anyway, Rosie got all excited when the boxes showed up and wanted to give daddy a hand...as soon as she saw the Magnaflow box she ran right to her coloring box with her crayons, pencils, and markers...no way I could tell her no



Not bad for a 3 1/2 year old, she pretty much stayed in the lines too

Could you say no to this face?



Anyway, here's what was in the box


5x8 oval 18" natural finish

QTP polished stainless dump pipe


How it will probably be, with a DMH 3" cutout bolted to it


I'm hoping that I'll be able to put it together with band clamps, butt joint and/or lap joint band clamps and attach it to the existing cat back pipe off the y, from the current Gibson cat back. The pipe has surface rust but is totally solid, and the seal to the StainlessWorks y-pipe is leak free. Eventually I will take it somewhere and have it all welded up.

Sweet!

Once I get a little more practice in on my own truck, and I find out just how well my little 110v MIG does with stainless, I might be able to help you out with that exhaust.

I talked with Andy at FLT yesterday and looking at getting a level6 60e. They sure are very courteous and answer all my questions. I have about $1200 left on my 6.0 swap parts and labor wise
but have set aside $1k for the tranny. I like that FLT does not want all the $ up front.

I can relate Bud,

My 2 year son colors on evrything and inspects everything !

I went to pump gas the other day and i opened the gas door and rocks from my driveway fell out. " Now i wander who put those there i thought " LOL

Kids keep it interesting to say the least.


Those magnaflows Are beautiful mufflers. I put one on my 95 tahoe i just sold and it was too "pretty" to hide underneath. They have a nice looking finish.


Sound clips when you can !!!
