Thru frame and bed exhaust!!

Check out this customers truck we just finished. I had free reign to do what I wanted and this is what happened..... Full stainless side exit thru the bed in front of the tire. I went thru the frame keep all the ground clearance- frame is plated and pass through is fully welded so its stronger than it was before. Used a mbrp muffler and all 3.5 pipe. This truck has no cats and a blower. Needless to say it sound badass with no resonense inside. Bed ring I made and hard mount the pipe trough the bed- you can see the bracket in the pic. Flex pipe takes care of the movement. This was not an easy project but I love how it came out

That's pretty cool.

Nice work looks awesome

The work looks very well done and professional. I'm not sure I'd be down with a 3.5" hole in my frame, regardless of looks and / or function.

But I'm not a structural engineer, so what do I know.

The flexible joint is key!

Ditto, and the factory warranty on that truck is toast. I'd be concerned about any significant off-road travel that challenges the frame.

I'm sure they didn't just go and say " let's cut a hole right here fella's and put a pipe through" without reinforcing the area at the same time. Even a monkey knows to peel a banana before he eats it.

But a monkey also takes his own shit and throws it at other monkeys. Not sure what that has to do with the exhaust...thought I'd throw it out there.

Skeptics are pushin this one off the tracks quick- lol.... This truck is highly modified already so warranty is long gone. If you look at the frame it has pass threws in other spots that are similar. The exceptions is that this one is plated on both sides. I have done a lot of cutting and modding on these frames- they are only 1/8 on the sides, very thin, now at the pass threw it is 1/4 way strong than it was before.

The flex joint is there to compensated for all the movement

The goal with this exhaust was maximum ground clearance and side exit
