Thanks for the write up, I'm planning on doing it this weekend. Also I saw your Blazer on youtube and I wanted to know how did you get dual exhaust on it?

Simply put: two manifolds go into ONE pipe correct? That pipe is shoved into the SINGLE muffler input! On the opposite side of the muffler, there are two exits, one left, one right... run the pipes out the back (over the rear axle and at the angle you prefer) from those exits and weld on some tips!

Simple stuff if you had the pipe bending machine to do it with and a welder.... probably wouldn't even need the welder if you just used exhaust clamps, bolt-able exhaust hangers and "screw on" tips.

They are just the smaller size led of the two. It took a lot of gluing and soldering... but get her done pal!

We'll have to wait for the OP to figure out what happened to the photobucket album. It's possible that he moved them in his account. Once the pictures are back up, I'll try to find the time to attach them all to the post & insert them so this doesn't happen again in the future. I am slowly trying to convert all of the tech articles over to using attached files on the site.

Too bad.
That's the downside of image referral sites. You go in and notice your albums arent exactly organized.. so you move them.
And even if you realize your mistake a few seconds later, and move em back to the same order, it's done. All links are broken.

I wonder.. which is cheaper site-cost wise. Pay a fee for off-server storage referral or paying for the increased bandwidth?

One bit of aggro for me is I do attach in some of my posts but cant easily use the same again. I understand why... no reason to have multiple copies of the same image but it's not always intuitive that all you have to do is go to the linkk provided in 'already exists' error message and right-click on the image to reuse it.

I think there's an advantage to use a thumbnail for click so it doesnt suck up page load time but it's near impossible to get the thumbnail for it.
Unless I'm missing something..
