Turnover, new people, need for retraining, etc.

Did they correct the alignment, or did they do a refund? Preferably BOTH.

Looks like I may need to replace the muffler.



This will assist the front hanger until I can do something about it.



That's the 24" Maggie I had on the '99, so it's seen many years of service (about 15). I might drop to an 18" this time.

I can't believe my stocker is still hanging in there. I have a couple of Flowmaster laminar flow mufflers out in the shop that are doing my no good in their boxes. One might end up on mine, and the other on my Buddy's Coyote F150. Think it's a 2019.

My factory exhaust looks practically new. My Lexus, though, badly needs new exhaust after smashing it into a boulder.

Fun fact: there's not a single mandrel bender in the state of CO, and nobody in CO Spgs carries stainless pipe. It's like 1972 around here.

Well, that may answer my next question. As can be seen in the pics, the OEM pipes are getting a little rusty. I've been looking at Magnaflow cat-backs and holy $hiznit, they're expen$ive! I'm going to take the truck to a local place that's done work for me before and see what they might be able to do with what's there, but if it's too far gone, I'm not sure what I'll do. The Dynomax kit is fairly reasonable, but it's probably only aluminized. (Weird, but their "Limited Lifetime Warranty" doesn't mention the word rust as an exclusion, but appears that it may only cover the muffler, and not the pipes.) Without the salt here, maybe it would last, but I'm not sure.

Put all that stuff on the 98 last year or the year before. Original factory SS 4 cat Y shipped from Canada and the Dynamax CAT back kit with a Borla sub in..I wanted it quite. Largest Borla made and it was still louder that I liked. About a grand in parts..almost all SS. Yea it's expensive. Just the TP was aluminized steel in the system.
