Day 3 & 4 - New Exhaust

Day 3 was spent getting the truck inspected, the oil changed and finding a muffler shop. A light rain forced me to hit a nearby Autozone to replace the wipers. Day 4 started with a trip to Leonard's Muffler shop in Austin where I had the old exhaust replaced with Flowmaster 50 series mufflers and dual exhaust. Up to now the truck's exhaust stopped just past the cab and both mufflers had holes. It made for a very loud ride. The new exhaust was a huge improvement! It looked much better, reduced the interior noise and sounded great! I took the long way home to enjoy the new sound. Once I got there I pulled the seat and vacuumed what was missed on day 2.

In the photos you will see an electric fuel pump. It was installed by the previous owner. I will most likely replace it with a mechanical pump.
