If you decide to build it yourself, I have some straight 2 1/2 inch aluminized tube left over from mine if you need it. I bought it from Napa and you have to buy it in 10' sections and I didn't need that much.

I've got a friend that has the Hushpower II on his Heep and it sounds real nice. The only reason that I didn't go that way was the price of those suckers.

Thanks Patrick, I might take up on that tubing. I ordered some bends and a muffler last night.

I loaded it down when I set the height and then gave myself an extra 1/4". The coils are used so they have already settled.

Bitchin...I have a feeling you will not miss the leafs for a second.

The brown truck came today and brought me a few presents:

I work as little as possible and sleep as much as possible, but I am still working way to much and sleeping way to little! I had a few days off last week so, I got a lot done on the Bronco.
I am anxious to get back on the trails before summer is over.
Here is what I did on the exhaust tonight, dual 2.25" into single 2.5":

Looks good, thats what I am doing this weekend, except I have long tubes. I am dumping through the body like Patricks

Where are you going to make the crossover?

[crawlin68]

Looks good Steve. That looks like a twin of mine. I will be home tonight and tomorrow night if you want to swing by and pick up the straight tube.

Not sure, I will have to lay there awhile and look with tube in hand. Thinking ahead of the 435 might work though.

Don't do too much thinking with your tube in hand.

where did you cross yours over Patrick?

[crawlin68]

I have the WH shorty headers too, so I don't know if this will help you or not, but I crossed over right between the bell housing and NP435.
