My exhaust guy rocks! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My local exhaust guy hooked me up again. I brought my old beater '72 into him with open headers and I brought in some used V-Force mufflers that I had on my last truck, and then I left with an awesome sounding exhaust.

The headers were from my '79 K20. The driver side went on with no problems. The passenger side needed the front tube (#2 cylinder) dented just a bit to clear the motor mount. It didn't bother me to dent the tube since they were used and I wouldn't have to buy new ones then. He used 2 1/2" pipe up to the mufflers, then 2 1/4" for the tailpipes. All pipe is aluminized, and the exhaust is fully welded from front to rear, including to the collector. I don't like leaks, and this is a real good fix. I wish I would have brought my camera to get pics when it was up on the rack, but I forgot about it, so I did my best by sticking the camera under there and taking pics. It looks way cooler than what the pics show.

Thanks. Ya, this whole truck is rusty. It still runs and drives good though.
