5" exhaust installed

You can check the pics out HERE . I cut the flange off the stock exhuast and welded it to the reducer and then ran the rest out the back. I found out I need another elbow to bring it out the side, but where it is isn't very loud. I am also going to raise it a little, it's a little too low, but it'll be ok for the next couple of days. It's got a much deeper tone than stock and is suprisingly quiet at 65-70, but at about 1500 rpm in 4-5-6 gears WOW does it rumble. It'll rattle the change in the center console. The turbo spools up quicker and with a stock wastegate and the TST on 4-4 I can hit 32 lbs now. EGT's seemed to have dropped a little, but nothing to drastic.



EDIT : I know it looks like it hits the frame rail in the first couple of pics, but it does have about an inch of clearance.

Yea, you can only see the bottom tip of the resonator, but like I posted earlier, I'm going to move it up a few inches. Ordering the elbows to fix that on Monday.
