Finally got an exhaust

Skipped the front muffler per popular advice and put a boral 115-070 on the B-  bolted a seat and belts in and " towed it to the muffler shop" about 2.5 miles away.  Yeah- right.  Longest drive its been on in 26 years.
The open exhaust starts getting super loud at 2500 rpms with any throttle applied.  Seems like it kicks in more at that rpm too.
Found my first oil leak- oil cooler hose that Moss can't find a braided replacement for.  Oh well, free undercoating.

Still waiting on leather seats and interior from the UK
Need a top- rains a coming!

Dont hit me!  Dodge 2500 lifted on left, stock Dakota on right.

"one of the thinnest cars I've had on my rack!" - the muffler guy

There was just a 3 foot long piece between the flex coupling off the downpipe and the boral muffler.

The muffler guy left a slit in the new pipe so the muffler can be removed..  There is a hanger coming off the battery box.

The Boral is really quiet up until you get on it.  Then after 3000 rpms there is a throaty sound at cruise throttle.  I'll have to see how it sounds down the highway...
