Got rid of the rotted out stock exhaust for something shiny!
The install didn't come without its hiccups, but it was much more intuitive than a lot of other things I've done lately! If you're thinking of doing this Overland Series from Magnaflow, or something else that utilizes one of the hitch frame mounts to mount the rear hanger, be mindful of the design of the bolts and nuts back there. The two closest to the front of the vehicle have the nuts bonded together with some kind of strapping inside the frame, so you have to potentially finagle the second assembly to get the first one to line back up as you hold the new bracket in place. That situation accounted for about half of the time it took to do this job!
I opted to cut out the old exhaust because the rear flange bolts were corroded beyond use. You only need to bolt the front on for the new setup; everything else is clamped. Luckily, the O2 sensor was recently replaced, so that was a piece of cake to get off and back on. The new system lined up very nicely throughout the back and the new cat flange gasket was a nice addition. They say to torque the clamps to 40-45 ft. lb., but didn't say anything about the O2 sensor or cat flange, so I just evenly gorilla torqued those. It's also a good idea to bend out the outwards facing heat shield because I was getting slight contact when shaking everything around. No CEL yet and I've put about 30 miles on it already!
Badass tone through all of the RPM ranges and stainless for longevity. Being mindful of the insulation and carpeting I removed last year to get the Sherpa Equipment cargo base in, the cabin noise is noticeable compared to stock, but not annoying at all. The growl it gives off is muy bueno! I've only had it on the highway for a few miles, but I'm not hearing any drone whatsoever with the whole assembly in place. You have the option to remove the heimholtz tube and cap the elbow, or take it completely off and cap it at the muffler to give you an increasingly more "aggressive" tone. With the entire setup installed, it's aggressive enough for me, lol.
Magnaflow hit it out of the park on this one for our rigs!
... I'll try to get more pics later; I was way too tired to care last night and I had a steak waiting for me at home!
