    Oops!!! I didn't realize I haven't posted my work pics since July!!? Good lord time flies when you are busy...still a horrible excuse.
    I have a phone full of pics I need to start posting, I typically forget since I am keeping very busy despite my lack of content here on the forum. Ill post some up tonight after I get done with my 4 different job I have to do today.

    Big thanks to Jason on installing my MBRP cat back exhaust system. As usual he did excellent work.

    The exhaust sounds great, a nice rumble at low RPM and no drone on the highway.

    Jason does great work. Highly recommend. I was super nervous going in and having an independent work on a nearly brand new 2021, but he did a great job. I trust him more than any local shop, which is why I was looking for an independent in the first place.

    If you are still interested, search this thread for phone number (or search 760 and you should find it). He did a bunch of work on my Tacoma back in the spring and we talked mainly by text. He doesn't check his PMs often.

    Thanks again Jason for doing my exhaust reroute. Looks great! Always a pleasure taking my truck to you and appreciate your patience in answering all my questions. Now I just need my skid plates to complete the mod. 8213D050-C37D-4B1A-BD4E-F85A3747D0D5.jpg

    @lukerutherford @Speed Freek Hey did you just reroute the exhaust on the underside where it hangs down, or did you re-route it in the back also so it isn't directly behind the passenger side rear wheel? If you re-routed the exit point, any pictures?

    I only re-routed the portion under the transfer case. On a lot of them I usually just cut the rear section just after the bend that points toward the ground.
    But I can also cut it and use some of the old piping that was removed to reroute it differently if you want a specific setup or angle..
