    Watching these videos while I wait for my new high flow cats haha. I did a wild custom exhaust on my Dodge ram 1500, haven't seen anyone do what I've done. I did a dual exhaust and cut out the y pipe from the cats to run the pipes straigt back on each side of the transmission. Now if you know these rams, they have the exhaust tunnel on the passenger side. I customized my truck to fit the driver side exhaust on the driver side. Then ran a 3 inch x pipe system for a 5.0 mustang voodoo behind the transmission and transfer case and above the driveshaft and out the side of the bed. I just installed BBK long tube headers and learned real quick my stock cats will not work with how I setup the exhaust system no matter how I modified the angles on the cats. So I ordered smaller high flow cats cause they are shorter and a smaller diameter to clear my driveshaft and stay away from the transmission so everything clears and fits back together. Its been a whole ass project installing these headers lol

    Looks good for a diy project. It’s good that you don’t have anything in the way from pulling it all in one piece other wise I would say you should have put a flange on it. I used to paint the welds with silver paint to keep them from rusting . Good work 👍🏻🤙🏻

      Hey man! It’s near impossible to estimate what this would cost because the amount of time it would take can vary. Also depends on if you went with a donor car like I did. You would need to consider cost of a full additional car plus labor to adapt the car to work with donor cars stuff.

I found out the pipes were not exhaust pipes but Galvanized ChainLink fence parts they took out of the Parks baseball backstop in the middle of the night it was like 1/8” wall thick pipe and we both laughed because it was his Dad that walked up to the park and dissasembled the backstop in the Moonlight
