Meh, we know they sound good live, everybody else just has to wait, lol...

    The phone video really sucks the growl out of the exhaust note!!

    You can use an e36 lower hose and I used some napa upper I forget the number on. Really simple.

    There we go. I can't use a computer for shit.

    The exhaust turned out exactly as I wanted. Extremely tight in the body, low rpm burbbley growl and nice and throaty up high. The video makes it sound kinda tinny and raspy but it's not at all.

    Its an old beater. I have 4.88's, some rock rails and a Detroit Trutrac to put in it as soon as I get some time. Might give that Rover a run for its money!
    Haha, that old Rover needs some work before going into anything too terrible. We took it over a friends old dirt bike track and it did very well in stock form though. I was impressed.

    Nope. It's been broke too often, lol.

    Just ordered another caliper. Front left locked up. I've got to get some bigger tires too. It's on stockie street tires now.

    It will be wheeled though. Exactly why I bought it.

    BTW, your 4runner is awesome!

    Be glad you are having someone else do it. I attempted mine on my own yesterday, and now have the problems you decided to avoid... having the drivers side hanging down so low. Trying to get the pipes to bend in to the center, under the driveshaft, is a major PITA when you are working under the car on jackstands. I realized immediately I wouldn't be able to do that, and just ran them straight back under the floorboards, making them a good 2" or more lower then I wanted them to be.

    Yours looks great, and that's a nice looking x-pipe!

    Looks like we are all finishing up our m60 builds at the same time... can't wait for Bimmerfest!
    Yeah the drivers side blows but where it goes under the trans mount will be the lowest part in the system for me. Everything else it tucked up in the exhaust tunnel. Can't wait to hear all the different set-ups at Bimmerfest!
