Exhaust Reroute DIY kit

Can you send me one for evaluation?

 

I had trouble finding a muffler shop with stainless and the willingness to make the bends. I ended up buying a whole 10ft stick of stainless because the shop didnt want to keep inventory (apparently stainless gets brittle if it sits for awhile?). The final product for mine came out a little wobbly on the bends but seems to work.

I would have paid a premium for a nicely bent length of stainless that I could take to a muffler shop to have cut/welded in.

 

I can confirm fitment for 4x4, plenty of clearance. A bit of a pain to install and I added a heat shield blanket under the trans pan to keep some heat off of it. Also different style of clamps that seal better.

 

Looks like the pipe might contact a transmission skid plate? I see this deletes the rear cats -- why? And I suspect the exhaust is louder than before.

That's URD for ya. Avoid them like the plague.

 

Yes indeed rear cats are gone, but you dont need 4 to begin with! I used o2 sims in place for the bung locations. This is the v2 URD pipe and its a little louder then before, I have the AFE dump exhaust for the catback.

 

How did you arrive at that ^^^^ conclusion?

 

Very carefully

 

This along with the fact that muffler shops typically use non mandrel bent tubing.

 

New here, first post.

I've was researching deleting the rear cats and found this post. I have a 19 O/R crew/long bed. I've been wheeling for years, so I have some knowlage, but I'm here to learn as well.

I hate the way Toyota ran the exhaust on this thing. What do you guys think of rerouting the cross over behind the t-case, under the drive shaft. On mine, the drive shaft is a two piece, so it won't move, don't know about other models. Running the exhaust behind the t-case would get it out of the rocks and above a skid plate. Would need a heat shield to protect the plastic electronic gear box.

Your opinons?
