#167352 you can supposedly drill a hole on the end of each crack (to stop it from growing) and then clamp it together and weld it. It may not last but it will delay having to buy a new DP right now.

#167632 thanks guys, yeah it was shitty ... like a $100 whoops to get it fixed. i saw some coolant while i was down there fixing it but it looks to not be a problem, i drove about 20 miles today with no issue and got the muffler installed:

here it is:

i don't know how i feel about the black :lol:

since the old exhaust guy did such a terrible job, he had to cut back some piping because it was a crooked:

but it sounds a lot better and kicks some of the resonance in the cab which was the point, might add something later but it's all good :thumb:

#167718 I like the black turbo Muffler, Looks nice.

You should post the exhaust shop in our product review section and everyone how shitty they are. It sounds like they have done a shitty job on just about everthing.

yeah man it looks pretty good i think, it's starting to grow on me... that's a good idea about the exhaust shop, might do that so others don't have to deal with that shit! .. i don't know how you managed to run a turbo muffler on N/A.. crazy

Yeah i like mine.. when i put it on i actually had to modifiy the strut mounts by shaving the holes to fit around the strut better but when i got it to fit properly it actually took some effort to bolt it down because it pretty much pulled the struts in :thumb:
