No they will be to busy picking out a nice plump one for them self......
They just get upset if you leave to much on the fillet no one likes waste, work the ribcage all the way round..
You need a Socket for the 15a plug to go into ? Or you need to put a 15amp end onto the welder ?
I have come up with heaps of very average ideas on how to mount it now just need you to come up with something that will work.......................

Man I love that picture you have running. Laugh every time I see it

Well, took all of about 30mins to install new exhaust....but about 2 hrs to get the old one out! It got chopped to bits that's for sure. Anyway the stainless is now in, should have got a stainless in the first place. Nice little note, but not overly annoying. And cabin noise has now dropped.

Dam, I found a lot of rust whilst under there though. Going to need to attend to that.

It was $995 including the $40 delivery.

They are made by x-force, I believe are an import. I found it on ebay, and I called the guys (mufflermen in nsw) and he was super helpful.

I was quoted $1200 for supply only of an aluminized mild steel exhuast up here. I couldn't believe it when he said a stainless was that cheap. I enquired as to why it was that cheap, and basically two reason, 1) they are imports, aussies seem to want a fortune for their stuff. And 2) once one mob puts them on internet for a price, pretty much everyone has to follow. He reckons it's almost cost price.

I almost choked when beaudesert exhausts quoted something like over $2000, no thank you! [FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY]


Edit: it is $100 cheaper if you don't want polished stainless. That's what I wanted except they were sold out untill janurary. He reckons he has a decent back order for navaras and hilux.

Haha not if I can avoid it. I really don't like the exhaust being so close. But we'll see, as long as I can still run a tank up there somewhere.

Yer the old one was good because it went right up in under the tray, so was out of the road. I think i'll just sort a way to move the tyre up under the tray. I like the exhaust where it is now.

Sorry this question is completely off topic, is that your welder in the bottom left corner ?? what brand and model is it?? looks like you are using gas shielding also correct? i am in the market for a welder and just interested to see what other people are using to get these kinds of jobs done.

cheers
