    Still need a tailpipe. After I get the steering done I'll take it in to my buddy Mike and let him bend up a tailpipe. Sounds great. The 50 series FM muffler has a much lower tone than the 44 I originally had on it. Definitely has a big V8 sound to it now. 2" mandrel bent pipe run above the crossmember up to 2 1/4" at the muffler inlet with a single 3" outlet. I plan on a 2 1/2" tailpipe to keep exhaust pressure up. Here's some pictures.

    Passenger side runs very close to the frame.

    Kept the head pipe above the spring hanger for some protection.

    Above the xmember. Had some sharp turns to make. Used pie cuts to make some, which resulted in blowing some holes that I had to booger weld back solid. Also a little concerned about where I went over the driveshaft. I cycled the suspension and it only hits at the extreme limit and I don't do any rock crawling so should be alright. If necessary I will change it.

    Passenger side, lots of little turns.

    Driver's side was much easier.
