    I'd say modifying the cross member is a much harder task than re-routing the exhaust, unless someone sells a replacement?

    Yeah, not really asking about that. :rolleyes:

    Just wondering what the muffler shop charged?
    I am planning on pulling my diff drop and rerouting my exhaust so the skids fit perfect and I don't loose that inch of clearance.

    Didn't realize that the exhaust hangs down THAT low on a V6. On the I4 it's all above the main frame rails :D

    Most shops would prob charge 60-100$ to move the pipe.

    Yeah...Some 10lbs brain at Toyota put the crossover from the left side bank UNDER the trans case- SO you need to space the skids down to fit them....or get that pipe cut out and welded around the end of the t-case.

    And I can't see it costing more than 100 bones- What does it matter tho- Go get it done- Totally worth it!!

    It ran me about 160 it would have been less but it took the welder a little longer to get everything tight.
