oh ya heres a lil before and after action.

before


after


and wen i first got it. sorry for the crappy pic but it was on my old phone before i got a digital camera

 

Looks good, man. Just out of curiousity, what are those rims off of?

 

they are off of a 06 malibu i believe. they are from my dads exs car. i cant exactly remember the year. but they are 16x7.50 i believe. you should see the ugly ass rims it has on it now

 

smoke the headlights too!!!! haha

oh and nice fart can in the bak

 

Why the rice can?... each to his own.

Anyway, I see you smoked your tail lights. I had that smoked, nonsmoked, smoked combo for a while.

looks like those wheels fitted pretty fine. you should get a spacer and make it flush.

 

yup they are smoked. and i switched my reverse lights with my blinkers so its alil different. also i do have .25" spacers on it. i want to get bigger ones like an inch with some 50 series tires. and for the fart can. it was a joke my buddies thought would be funny to do. at first it was really funny to have on it but no im waiting on some work with my dad to do a full exhaust till i can find a 7m around here

 

Like it was said earlier, to each his own, but it just seems like you have the painting process down, why not do the bodywork?? You just made more work for yourself. And how much overspray ended up on the white truck??

 

well the reason i painted it with out doing the body work first is because the old paint was horrible and i was impatient. plus the paint was just some left over black from another project so we painted it cuz my dad was getting pissy about me having a two different color truck parked in front of his house. and not much over spray got on the silver dodge. we took a squirt bottle and misted it with water so if any did get on it we could just wipe it off with a rag. and im really thinking on going and getting a cherry bomb tommorow after i get off work cuz the more i look at the rear end pics of my truck the more it bugs the **** out of me

 

Just have it exit under the truck with a turn down.

My truck is running factory stuff..

OEM mani, OEM frontpipe, OEM cat (gutted..kinda) and basically the leftover pipe that exits to the left of the vehicle at a 45 degree angle.

of course other members have tried different setups, but most don't like the "cat only" setup. I like the way mine sounds. except i have to admit, i'm louder than most ricers.

good luck on the build.

 

You running cat no muffler? Dand thats hardcore

 

that how my old 83 was. it was cool but with my 89 it has an o2 sensor behind the cat and before we did the exhaust we ran it up and down the street with about a foot long extention after the senser and it set my check engine light off. my truck came from cali and i want to take all the emission stuff off since we dont have emmision testing on anything older tha '94 here. there are so many sensor and wires that im not really sure wat to take off and wat to keep. also would i have to swap me ecu for a non cali one?

 

Paint looks alot better, I agree with you dad the paint has to match, sucks about the dents though, you'll get'em later,. I really like the fact you just did it and got it done,.

 

lol thanks bootleg. im so much happeir about it too. it was driving me nuts riding around in a two colored truck. yesterday was the first day ive had a full day off. i mean i have two jobs, one at my uncles gas station where i work like 40 hours a week at night then with my my dad in the mornings where i work another 30- 40 hours depending how many jobs he has. we do home remodeling so as of right now with this being my daily and work truck i didnt really want to waste abunch of time fixing the dents wen im just going to make new ones next week wen im hauling drywall or 2x4s or anything else thats gonna be thrown back there

 

Thanks. I love living in Kansas.

 

Most people in Hawaii run straight pipe right after the headers, (which they normally change) to a flowmaster using 2 1/4" piping. Most minis here sound similar. Everyone gots a flowmaster.

How does yours sound though cinnammon? I would assume its super loud and hollow? I was thinking about doing that but my dad says thats a negative

 

I think the exhaust makes it look fast even though you don't have any stickers.

But seriously, I kinda like it.

 

yea i kno i personally like the look of an exhaust on there, but i like mine lookin beefy with a 3" tip

 

lol i think that if it wasnt angled so damn much the it would be cool. but if im going to rework it i might as well just go and get a cherry bomb cuz the can is really hacked up from it being on a few different cars

 

Cherry Bombs are cheap! And really allow that distinct toyota sound to wail through. LOUDLY. The only thing I really don't like bout cherry bombs, rice cans, or straight pipes, Is how bad you get Bird Dogged by police especially at night,....always feel like I'm tip-toeing trying to be quiet going through towns.
