What did u do to your raptor today?

[2014RubyRed]

I had the magna flow, it was a nice system, good sound. I upgraded to the Roush without the resonator, its a whole-nother animal. i probably should have just removed the resonator on my magna flow system though.

Cool story bro.....

@RDFTS. Hey man that is a B.A. turndown setup! my only suggestion is to spray those walker tips in VHT or other exhaust paint to protect em. Sell and get enough back at Advance to know they rot away for no reason.

Thanks. I really wasn't wanting turndowns. I had to do it due to the ICON bumpstop. They are supposed to be stainless steel though. Will have to look at it closer tomorrow.

I was planning to only run these when off-roading. Will have to remove the cross braces on the bumpstop to put the tailpipe back on for daily driving.

I had these on for my 400 mile drive back home to see if I would hear any drone with this setup. I did not.

Those are not stainless they are galvanized 5.99 jobbies from the local parts store.

I thought there was an issue with mixing metals on exhaust? And if so, what issue arises?

Yeah, looked it up "heavy gauge steel with zinc plating". Found at O'Reillys for $7.49 each. What a rip considering looking at the charge of $100 that was passed onto me and most likely marked up.

If it makes you feel better the guy that welded it all up probably had a hell of a headache afterwards.

Yeah that doesn't help. Seems like I would be better off ditching what they did and get a couple 12" turndowns from Flowmaster, Gibson or MBRP that use T304 stainless steel and have a stainless steel rod welded to the inside of a j-hook hanger so it's under the tips not above it.

Last I checked it was difficult finding a muffler shop in my area that works with this type of stainless steel.

Underneath tighten up some loose nuts and bolts, surprised some seems just hand tighten.

Geez and I thought it was just a few, this one so loose, took nut off with fingers.

Not wanting to start any shit, but MadCow's brother had some of the same issue from that shop. Hell, his skid plates almost fell off at TRR!!! Better check them all. Maybe they just missed a few on your's too.......

Wow and those are nylon lock nuts...
