Stainless steel Thing exhaust

I second that.I bought one a month ago but haven't install it yet.To me it is one of the better ones I have seen.There was a good deal of engineering put into it.Well worth the money?

crap! I just bought that Tri Mill exhaust a couple of months ago - was determined to get to the valves and this was the only option available! It runs well, but it is quite loud - makes the Thing sound more bad-ass than it is. I think it's sort of funny in a way. Someone asked me a few days ago:" how many cylinders in that engine?"

I don't want to upgrade now - that would be too extravagant! Hopefully vintage speed will continue to carry this for a while!

Got around to installing mine today which was fairly straight forward.It is a piece of quality for sure!Looks great and sounds really good.I had the tri mil myself one time and my neighbor a block away could hear me leaving for work in the morning LOL.I replaced my stock 73 dual muffler exhaust with this.I paid 500.00 for that setup and it was louder and only had 1" pipes which was not sufficient for my new dual carb setup.I am selling this for 200.00 plus 50.00 for shipping if anyone is interested.

Does anyone on these posts have the exhaust completely installed with the bumper on? I installed mine yesterday and the exit pipes through the bumper sit close to the bottom of the hole and not the center.My bumper is not bent up so maybe it is the way they are made?Anyone see this also?

Looks good. I will to consider this when I get my engine rebuilt/enlarged. It would negate my plans for a trailer hitch, but can't have everything.

I you buy the exhaust the trailer hitch will not fit unless you modify it.I had one on mine and removed it.I may get it modified in the future.

If I do the mod I will post a pic.My head was swimming also whether to fork out that much money but when you see it and hear it you will never regret it if you decide to go that route.

Took me a while to get things all back together but here is shot of the muffler installed

They look really great and sound good.Well done.Looking at yours leaves me to believe that my bumper is sitting high.I know you can move them in and out but can you lower them in the bolt adjustment area?

I don't think so, they are adjustable for width but I don't see any for up & down

How do you hook up the heat? use extra long tubes?

You could just longer tubes make sur they are metal so they dont burn since they will be rigjt next to the exhaust

You can get it with the adjustable flanges to fit your heater boxes. Send them an email and they can confirm this.
