XJ Cherokee gets Custom Stainless Exhaust: How I use Mandrel Bends
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 сер 2024
- The XJ Cherokee LS Swap project is coming along nicely, and it's time to finish up the exhaust! Last time we took care of the front section, merging the 2.5" outlets from both Novak headers into a single 3" Flowmaster Y-pipe and then a high flow catalytic converter. This time, we're gonna install a Magnaflow Muffler on this XJ Cherokee, and a full 3" 304 stainless tailpipe. I'll cover the fundamentals of how I work with mandrel bent tubes, from making the cuts, cleaning the edges, how to mark and clock the bends to the exhaust tube goes where you want it to, and weld em back together in the appropriate configuration. It's definitely a time consuming process, but a TIG welded mandrel bent exhaust if by far the coolest way to do any exhaust on an engine swap. The details on the XJ Cherokee are as follows: 1998 2-door Cherokee Sport, Rusty's long arm kit, 17" beadlocks and 37" tires, Dana 60 axles front and rear with electric lockers and 4.56's, an LQ4 swap with a GM 4l60e transmission thats been adapted to a Jeep NP231 transfer case.

I wish I could hear the exhaust note on this one, but there's still a little work left to do in the wiring and plumbing department before we can make that happen... thanks so much for the support guys!
Killin it, LT. Been loving the content, keep it up!
Wow! Looks good. I can't wait to hear it.
Oh my god. You don't mess around. I love seeing people doing everything with integrity. Awesome, man!
The attention to detail is awesome! The owner is a lucky man having Tolman Performance work on his truck!
thanks so much!
Get yourself a Bauer Portaband and a SWAG Off Road Portaband table. Changed my life when it comes to cutting metal.
That Porta-band table is the stuff! I've had one for years, and love it.
Absolute art brother my goodness, I’m a sucker for properly done exhaust and this here is awesome 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You need one of those nifty little rotary welding tables; it'd make your life SO Much easier when you're stitching those sections back together.
The exhaust you build is alway top notch
You do you man You don't need to explain to the haters how you do what you want to do You got way more talent than a lot of us hence the reason why you're doing what you do I'm looking forward to seeing ugly truck at the autocross I love that sport I'm definitely going to get myself one of those t-shirts
Came out Amazing ! Can’t wait to hear it
Very nice work as always. Cool to see someone doing clean work with a cheap chop saw too. Most vids have all state of the art equipment that’s unaffordable to most backyard builders.
Thanks 👍
Duel exhaust is thing in past. Most around here i live are not into duels anymore. No need for it anyways. The exhaust looks good. Nice build.
Congrats on this endeavor. Every day I watch my favorite UA-cam channels and envy the courage and faith it takes to turn these channels into their dream careers. Cheers to getting this channel to 1mm subscribers homie. Best of luck! 🍻
Wow talk about incredible exhaust work!! You really have an incredible skill at doing exhaust systems!! I bet this sounds amazing too!! I enjoy watching your builds and thanks for sharing with us!!
Excellent job on that exhaust system Tolman!
Above and beyond!!!
Thank you very much!
You’re going to crush your 100k by the end of the year goal! Keep up the outstanding work LT.
Hope so!
@@LawrenceTolman it sounded like you said in the video 100k by the end of 2020, which might be a problem at this point. Either way, your videos are excellent and I think you'll make it by the end of the year. Keep up the good content!
10:20 Thank you for telling us there's no trick. I was just going to ask that. For the past 40 years, if it were up to my "eyeball" I always cut 1/2 inch too short.... whether it be carpet, wood, steel, brick, tile, etc. It just makes me feel like an idiot. I try to measure as best I can, but If I eyeball it, it's nearly always wrong- to the point I gotta start over. LT, I hope you make tens of millions of $ doing this because you "have that eye"... you got the talent that's rare.
LT Being a union pipefitter / welder I’ve used both tools you spoke of and that’s the way I would have done it too I’d have to say you did an amazing job I think the only thing I would have done was move it outboard another inch just in case he ever wanted to put a gas tank skid pan since factory heat Shield is missing and bumper bolts are located on that frame rail although You could probably still fish it on still loving the series I build xjs so this has always been a dream
Obviously, LT obviously knows what he's doing.
If you ask a food grade welder there is a cut off blade reddish in color and leaves a cleaner cut.
LT, i must say, am really impressed by your thoughts and ways of doing your bends and cuts! Those hangers are beautifully crafted, unique design! I love how they look! Definitely your best work, all the work you put into building badass system, I'd say yes those hangers! Enjoyed this video a lot! 100 top notch. Many thumbs up 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice Work! The owner should be very happy.
Hope so!
Anxious to hear it..... well done !!!!
Damn man beautiful work, putting an exhaust together on my XJ now and wish I had the tools to do this.
Overkill are you kidding awesome work L T can't wait to hear it.
Can't wait!
Exhaust looks amazing! i can tell this isn't your first rodeo doing them! Loved the burnout, burn baby burn tire inferno!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks 👍
Slicker dan snot! She come out perfect.
thanks!
I love it man! I got a flowmaster flowFX (it's literally a magnaflow, same design and material grade).
43k - you’re on your way!! You got me wanting to revive my channel. 🤘
*on
In the past I have used an old ratchet strap to hold up an exhaust. It makes it easier with nothing on the floor.
Hey man ditch the trouble light and pick up some cyclops lights off of Amazon! They work great and are magnetic, also can change the angle with a pivot point! Great work!
Thanks for the tip!
Damn broski! Very nice work.
That was a very informative, well put together video on that beautiful exhaust!
Killing it LT. keep it up!
Some xjs came from the factory stock with a gas tank skid that doubled as a heat shield for the exhaust, the ones that didn't came with a small one that bolted to the under side of frame rail or unibody to protect the side of tank from exhaust heat.....looks like that one is missing it..(unless you removed it)... just an fyi if u didn't know.... Awesome work! Clean👌 Already Subscribed after first episode 😉
I assumed it came with some kind of heat shield/skid plate for the tank so I left a lot of room for it whenever the owner installs it... it came to me just like you saw it
Well shiat. I could have driven down to chandler. Next time you’re coming to Az let me know.
Also: the spring shackle will swing forward when the axle droops out. The end of the bolt may hit the tip, reversing the bolt helps.
yup, you're right there, I had planned on taking care of that
@@LawrenceTolman yep. Ask me how I learned this particular lesson... LOL
That's some clean work. Hopefully pull some good subscribers out of the Shootout.
Man I was hoping to hear that exhaust note..💪💪💪
me too, but we're several wires short to make that happen
Sheer art work
Great video. Always realize I need to learn more skill. Love the Tolman Performance merch. By the way what kind of beard trimmer do you use? It’s always crisp and clean.
great job.........keep up the good work....
Looks great. You do phenomenal work.. I can't wait to hear that 6.0. I'm wondering how much that big muffler will quiet things down. I didn't realize magnaflow made a muffler that big. It will probably sound deep, but mellow.
I just put a 14x9 3" straight through magnaflow on my Tahoe and you can barely tell a difference from stock. The stock muffler's body was 28" long. It was also breathing through 3 cats and a resonator at the tip.
its amazing how much sound a factory catalytic converter will kill, but then the aftermarket high flow cats tend to not do much at all for noise... I think this one will have a just right sound
awesome work looks great..
Looking good! But it sure looks like that leaf spring Shackel bolt will hit the tail pipe when it drops
It’s a shame a nice piece like that is hidden under it well done my good sir
You ever thought of using some of the high temp tape to hold your pieces in place while welding? Taylor Ray seems to like it and said it works better than painters tape.
Get a diablo blade for that chop saw . they work great .You can get them at home depot .
Nice job.
Lookin good 👍🏻
Overkill is underrated
overkill is underkill on a rockcrawler
If you prefer a band saw, I've seen that those handheld bandsaws work well once you mount it to a base. April 1st HaHa nice one!
Well done obviously 😁
Might want to start saying “flared end”. Bell end has another meaning. Lol
This bloke has been goin around cuttin off bell ends. 😂
Nice!! Very good job... :-) Great burn...:-)
Must be a Batman fan. 🧐
@@teaguegearhart9851 I'm Batman...:-)
Hey, I’m in the middle of this swap as well but with an AX15 transmission. Novak doesn’t let you know where their mounts actually set the engine compared to stock. Do you have a measurement from the back of the engine to the trans crossmember? It would help me know if getting the shifter lined up is even worth it.
Love the attention to detail in your build.
Next tshirt/sticker design "obviously tolman performance built it"
obviously that's a good idea.
Love your shows! But why ruin tires
Looks great.
Thanks!
What’s the price for a complete swap just wondering?
When are you gonna use some glasspaxxs????
Love the metal porn. I really learn something everytime. Great work, keep it up
Letting the beard grow, eh?
Maybe it’s the camera angle but I’m going to assume this guy is going to use this XJ and that shackle bolt looks like it’s going to make contact with the tail pipe on full drop of RR wheel? Not a big deal just an observation.
had planned on trimming or flipping the bolt around, it would be close as-is
👍💯✌️
Hey LT, I was wondering if there is any difference in chevy electric fans size between a 1500 and a 2500 truck would one out of a 1500 work in a 2500?
I've seen a few guys put the electric fans from the 2005+ 1500 into 2500's, but that required a radiator swap and a radiator spacer from a 2500 suburban (I think). look up Farmerjohnsonoffroad, I know he did it
Trying to reach 100k by the end of 2020?
haha...
Why didn't you put another v band after the muffler?
no need to make another connection, the back half of the exhaust easily removes as one assembly, and I hate excess clamps
@@LawrenceTolman Oo ok. It's looks amazing
Do you heat wrap or put extra heat shields on your personal 4x4s? There’s a real problem in Northern Nevada and California with off-road vehicle’s exhausts sparking wildfires. Is there a product solution for this?
dei heat wrap off amazon
YoIts Bro Thanks
@@jeromeburrasca6710 if you are near reno just head over to summit racing in Sparks. They have everything you need.
Michael Oatman Thanks, I’ll check them out when I’m up there.
What vise are you using?
its a Wilton trailer hitch vise with a square receiver tube I made to bolt onto the welding table.
I hate to be that guy but it's 2021 brother.
yeah, it takes me a few months to catch up every time the year changes
What headers did you use?
They are the Novak conversion headers
I hope they put wax in it before hitting a trail
100,000 by the end of 2020??? Not being persnickity, just ribbing and hopefully getting you paid a bit better by leaving a comment.
that's probably the 10th time I've said 2020 instead of 2021
@@LawrenceTolman no worries. It's like putting down the wrong year on paperwork it'll come around, then well be putting 2021 when it's 2022. Lol
Don't think you will get to 100,000 by the end of 2020...:-) @0:14
haha... yup, missed that goal for sure
