I started working on the exhaust yesterday. The clearance for the headers on the passenger side were tight and I felt like i needed 3 hands to maneuver the header in to place. Getting that done, I had already ordered a set of TotalFlow mufflers to use instead of the ones provided by FFR. I also put an exhaust cutout in from Summit Racing. I like to be able to open it up when I take it to the track or when I'm out on country roads.

Heres a photo of finally getting my hot rod truck onto my 4 post lift so I can do the exhaust.

Check out the next two photos showing the 180 degree hoop i did to go up and over the axle.

Yesterday, after mocking up the entire dual exhaust setup, I pulled the headers and the first collector pipe from each side and I handed them off to a friend for sandblasting. I'll be using CeraKote C-148 Burnt Bronze air dry ceramic coating on these parts. My truck will be a dark metallic copper color. I'll post pictures when its done.
