Decided to do an exhaust upgrade for a better flowing set up since I've started going to the races. It can be pretty difficult to bend 3" pipe and get it to exit out the back of a lowered truck with a flip kit. I did have to clearance one of the braces on the bottom of the bed (but I don't carry anything back there anyway). There's a shop here in town where the old man has been bending pipe for over 50 years. He can't bend 3" pipe without getting a few wrinkles because of his machine, but his handiwork and the ability to imagine how to make things fit is awesome. This was the driver's side pipe and it's not completely finished. I forgot to take a picture after the whole thing was done. Now it's a true free flowing 3" exhaust front to back with an X pipe and rear exit on a lowered 2013 5.0 f150. I told him I needed to leave room for the rear gears to be replaced so he was able to tuck the pipe up high and out of the way and this is what he came up with. The truck sits too low to try to get a spare out if there's a flat so I carry it in the bed, so spare tire placement under the truck is a non-issue.

Anyone in the San Antonio area, I highly recommend Option Muffler.

 

here's the whole thing...at least from the mufflers back. Trust me, the pics don't do it justice.
