Pics of My Homemade Exhaust Tip

[JohnnyH]

After seeing TDR member Fred Swansons Exhaust tip I wanted something similar. I went to my local Kenworth dealership and bought a 5" by 36" Mitre cut stack. Then got a 4" to 5" adaptor and a stainless steel band clamp. Cut the stack down to 17" and cut my stock tip off. The only thing I may do is rotate the band clamp so the bolts are on the top. It may be less visible that way. I got the stack for 35. 00 because it was slightly used, and I got 2 tips out of it, since I only needed half of it. When it starts to look bad, I'll put the other half on.

Yep, I'd rotate the clamp too. Nice job.

I'm going to rotate the 5" band clamp and replace the 4" muffler clamp with a band clamp as well. That should clean things up under there. I didnt notice how much you could see of it until I posted the pictures and looked at them myself. Problem is, those clamps are not reusable, so looks like I will be buying new ones today.

So how much total do you have in it? It looks great, since it is less than the dealer's $79 version (especially if you get two pieces for the price of one) it is a great deal too.

Thanks, Check out the updated pictures in my other thread on this forum. Stack cost 35. 00, Adaptor 13. 00 and 2 band clamps 19. 00. Plus, like you said, I get 2 tips for that price.

Thanks, You can check out the improved version in my other post, or in my gallery. I changed the clamp setup slightly.
