I agree its a pain in the ***** when your 1 thousands off and it sucks air around the bleeder. But I use a piece of hose with grease. That stops that issue. But going to look into Speed Bleeders for the Kodiak. That sucker hold I think 3 big can of fluid. And there electric over hyd, when you press the peddle all your doing it kicking in the electric pump. Got to replace the pads and drums on that sucker. Step son is going to have fun moving the 6 19.5's and pulling those 14" rear brake disk. As I messed up and let a buddy borrow it. He burned the E brake off the sucker. Grossing 35,000 lbs and left the Ebrake on. Sad part was he told me for the life of him he could not figure out why it was pulling hard. PLus the smell was unreal.

That's what I pulled off mine. It had both banks dumping into the Maganflow then dual out. But the pipes were cut off about 6" behind the muffler. Thus dumping the exhaust right under the seat.
So nice now to have it quite. Local muffler shop charged $120. for a new muffler and pipe back.

Oh I know I love it now that it is quiet. I ripped the stock exhaust out of the junkyard for $20 and had it put up under there with about an hour of labor. A couple of welds and now she is solid resumed the factory hangers and everything. Overhead welding is always a pain in the rear.

You had a 22, and it was too loud? When I put the 22" Maggie on my '99, I had to look to be sure the shop actually installed it. Granted, it was SISO, and full tailpipe. Maybe your real problem was the dump(?).

Definitely wasn't dumped lol muffler was broken in though had it for a few years. It really opened up while towing and that was the biggest annoyance. I like silence on long trips

I would have to go look at the length. Mine is a 2 in 2 out with the tru-x setup so it may have a different sound. My black truck had a 5.4 but with a 1 in 1 out with side exit and it couldn't try to be quiet if it wanted to.
