Cheap exhaust system?

Post by neb_scot »

I expect my exhaust to die on the way to work tomorrow. On the way back today, I could hear the familiar tonal changes of the engine. It already bellows out like mad as it is, its just got deeper.

I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for a good source of cheap replacement. The previous owner stuck a shorter tail pipe on it that comes out at the side of the car rather than the back (?!), yet the most rear section of the original one still seems to be attached - no idea of the condition.

Any suggestions are welcome. Unfortunately I do not have access to a Mig Welder any more..... gosh those can be handy.

Kolton,
Just did a search on the AutoZone site, but this is what I got:
"Search Results for "flowmaster" We're sorry, but there are no results in this parts category for your 1984 Ford Truck Bronco II 4WD 2.8L 2BL"

Tried it for the 88 also, but came up the same. Do they have more variety in the store?

I only used their drill down and got to the individual parts. I couldn't find the "flowmaster" but the individual parts seemed to be adding up to the same price....

oh lol yeah, that might be why.

i had pretty much the same problem as you. but mine went out the day i bought it. so this $80 deal came in pretty handy. i hope you can find something that will work and not cost a fortune, goodluck.

Kolton,
Thanks for the pics. I don't know if we have something different or not in store. I'll definately be checking as when I put the Explorer's 4.0 in this summer, I'll be in the need.... Don't know why you can't order from the on-line catalogue. Being here in Iowa, the season for highway muffler fallout is just about upon us.
