Long Travel BS Thread

what size is the hole? I have a Dirt King burn plate sitting in the garage.

 

Probably 4”, but it’s not exactly a circle

Honestly the place that did the exhaust was a budget exhaust shop, but their welds are solid. I’m kind of surprised he actually cut the hole in the fiberglass for me and set everything up

 

ID of the plate is 3.5" so might not fit
Side Exit Exhaust Bezels – Dirt King

 

What's the benefit of a fender exit over dumping under the truck?

 

1 it looks cool,

but 2 and most importantly, it doesn’t reverberate underneath the truck and cause crazy drone and volume.

 

Oh that makes sense… but looking cool is most important lol.

 

Can someone give me a quick sanity check that I have piston in the correct orientation?

 

Weekly stupid question time: would u add seam sealer on the inside and outside of the tub area?

 

Been awhile since Ive broke mine open, but yes it looks like it.

Thanks, that’s a great video.

 

You can. I did. Doesn’t hurt anything.

zero water ingress and I’ve pulled the carpet up front quite a few times

Glad to see she's not bleeding tranny fluid alone in a dark garage

 

Can validate this! Temporarily dumping my 3" exhaust with a straight through muffler under the back seats until I finish up the fender tubing so I know how to routt it. Sounds great, but So. Damn. Loud.

 

me too honestly. Glad shes alright.

yesh it’s really brutal lmao

 

I got a pretty quiet borla muffler on mine and it’s dumped at the axle on my double can long bed — it doesn’t drone but certain rpm’s and loads will resonate throughout the cab.
Didn’t happen when it was side dumped like OEM with the same muffler.

 

Soon

 

Is that for the taco or a new project?

 

Taco

but…
Once taco is gone… someone is trying to bully me into building a 55 Chevy
I’m negotiating for a 50’s C10

 

55’s are so nasty when done right! This is my dad’s that we built. 5 year journey on this one! She was ROUGH.
