Comparison of 2.25 and 2.50 inlet and outlet only.

 

Link no worky

 

sooo that's how you came up with smurf blue.....its actually pretty cool...I was just "trying" to give you shit....but I failed

 

I would have the Factory CV axles rebuilt. When I needed them for my 4Runner, I took them in to exchange and the Napa and O'Reilly both had at least one that had Made in China on the box, I carried them to a CV axle shop and got my same 2 back that afternoon and the cost was about $30 more than the new exchange ones. I couldn't find rebuilt CV axles in stock locally, so this might not be the case for rebuilt store bought brands. The guy also gave me a lifetime warranty on them too.

 

So... exhaust guru's,
what are the differences between these cans?

edumacate me on chambered vs straight through.

I'm not expecting any hp gains or the like. Not opposed to it either.

using 4wheel parts website because pricing is listed and that's the question, what am I paying for here?

I like the price on this first one. Couldn't care less about polished or otherwise.\
I'm ok with spending more to get what I want.

18" 4x9 oval stainless steel $77.99 Chambered design

18" 5x8 polished stainless $140.99 Straight through design
http://www.4wheelparts.com/Performa...er.aspx?t_c=74&t_s=49&t_pt=3362&t_pn=M/F14263

18" 4x9 polished stainless $138.99 Straight through design
http://www.4wheelparts.com/Performa...er.aspx?t_c=74&t_s=49&t_pt=3362&t_pn=M/F14366

I think the last two are just a price difference due to the shape/popularity.

EDIT:
nevermind, chambered is basically like the Flowmaster. I see the straight through design is what you are all using.

 

18" 12256, good tone and no cab drone at highway speeds. Center in and offset outlet.

I love mine!

 

crap, my bad. Tried to link the list of mufflers, obvious fail.

On that note, I'll postpone my order until I hear what they have to say.

 

24 inch like mine: https://www.partshopper.com/item/magnaflow-12276-universal-satin-stainless-muffler/

18 inch like most run: http://www.hottexhaust.com/Magnaflow_12246

These are both 2.5 center/center

 

Gadget also lists red-loctiting them on top of the staking. I did both.

 

And the OME lift has been installed.

 

Kinda hard to see but here's my exhaust setup 18" bodied magnaflow ran to behind axle dumped to a 3 inch tip

 

Took the seats out and cleaned it today.

 

That looks nice and clean up there. Is that a 6" diameter?

 

It might be a catback system.

 

Put on some go-faster brake bits, got much better bite with the greenstuff pads. For a first timer brake job, it was pretty damn easy.

 

Made and installed some frame reinforcements. Tomorrow I'm changing the clutch. Putting in a stage 3+ comp clutch, LCE 38lb flywheel, and a Marlin short throw.

 

I was this close to buying a pair of saws. Buy Brady came up with a very valid number of points. So Instead I just bought another pair of 5100s, gonna use my eibachs, and with the money I save im gonna buy a winch (hopefully if time allows lol) it is a winch, which is useful, and the extra weight will make the front ride better

 

So for frame reinforcements you need to remove the bed?

 

Looking at putting in a truetrac today. Anyone know if Timken or Koyo make diff bearings to replace 90366-51001 from the stealership?
