If I'm not mistaken the difference is in the center bar and one is wider than the other and I don't remember which is which.

Well Happy New Year to all ! This is the year my truck will be on the road . I said the same thing the last 5 years, but its true this time.
Lots to post but time is all I need.
Here's a pic of new , newest exhaust

Reason I needed new exhaust is that I needed ground clearance, so I went to oval pipe where needed.
Why did I need more clearance ? Because I had to go to smaller tires. Why smaller tires ? Because I couldn't get the dang tire off the rear axel without dropping the axel off the air ride , slight over look during the build :(
Where did you find oval pipe, or did you flatten it yourself?
Today was torque converter change day. Reason , the converter was causing forward movement unless I stood on the brakes. It wasn't meant to be in this lite of a vehicle , I installed a 2200-2500 rpm converter.

I saw this on FB on a Pullmax Group page, basically a set of dies is used to flatten the tubing. This arrangement would allow you to assemble your pipes using mandrel bends and then flatten afterward in order to have a smoother transition in the corners/bends. I know, day late, dollar short. (story of my life :LOL:) But even for a guy without the reciprocating machine, a set of dies made up like this and adapted to an arbor press would get the job done.. albeit more slowly.

When I was shopping for tube & bends I noticed that Summit, Speedway and JEGS all carried oval exhaust tube and mandrel bends, but as Navy says it's a lot more expensive. Robert, your idea of building from round stock, then flattening would be a lot cheaper if time's not an issue.Quote:
