Exhaust Reroute pics

@DVexile

 

Hi, saw you liked my posted pics of someone else’s reroute above. Are you working on a reroute for your truck? I finally completed mine but also added a flange and heat shielding:

Reroute with flange - also welded two nuts on the pipe to mount a piece of stock aluminum to it as a heat shield between the pipe and plastic transmission actuator box, too. I used aluminum flashing and stainless steel ties to extend the OEM pie tin heat shields for above the new pipe, and mounted it with spacers against the body directly above the new pipe, and added a flashing shield around the plastic transmission actuator box for extra measure.

Now that the heat shields are in place, I have two more Mobtown skid plates to install to complete the three piece set.


Completed reroute with flange

Aluminum flashing and steel zip ties for heat shielding above main pipe and formed into a box shield around actuator, in addition to a plate bolted on pipe nearest the actuator. Curve the edges of the large shield downwards to avoid holding sand and water.

 

Rerouted mine 2 weeks ago. Mine was $75. Here is a before and after.

 

Good info and pics guys. Been searching for this. Thanks.

 

Any loss of performance or gain for that matter from opening y-pipe pipes? I know it might be for clearance but if there is gain or loss it would be nice to know.
