Sprint77 custom pipe arrived today...

[Evildomain]

Ok, the pipe Sprint77 custom made for me arrived and all I can say is WOW!


It looks fantastic and all the welds are perfect. I immediately started the


install, of course...


I had to cut a 3/4 inch whole in the rear bumper for the exhaust tip and also


trimmed some of the Desert Rat body right where the posts are. The pipe


weighed in at around 7oz's, very light but quite sturdy.


By the time I was finished installing it the sun was gone so couldn't get any


tuning done. It had been raining all day and the ground was too wet anyway.


I ran the truck for a few minutes and did some donuts in the dirt, could not


help myself...lol


The pipe is definitely louder than my stock can but the sound is very nice.


I love it! I'll be sure to take video tomorrow during the tuning runs.


Here are some pics...the body has dust from the cuts I made, didn't even


have time to clean it before I took the photos....just wanted to post pics


before it got too late...hehe


Hey Sprint77,


I knew from reading other posts that you did excellent work but until you


see it up close it can't be fully appreciated...


I'm happier than a pig in sh#t!


Thanks again Buddy...

Forgot to mention he also sent me an aluminum skidplate for the front bumper.


Thanks for that...it looks pretty damn cool!

 

[Sprint 77]

Glad it worked out. Sorry to keep you waiting so long , damn day time real job

 

[Evildomain]

No problem...Well worth any wait. In the short distance I drove my truck it didn't have


that bog at takeoff anymore. Spun those tires on dry concrete pretty easily...


What did you think of the way it sounded? It's loud but a good kind of loud..


I hope my install job did the pipe justice...

man that's a good looking pipe. Hey evil that truck is one of the nicest here.

 

[Evildomain]

Thanks Fastlane, I tried to make a good looking truck but can also perform well on the dirt.


The only thing holding me back is the roll cage, gotta get a better one but I can't weld


to save my life...lol


Once I save some cash I'll check around to see who can build me one, nothing too wild.


I want it to be simple and mount using the stock holes. Maybe in March I'll get one, for


my birthday...

I have a cage that takes no mods for . Still uses factor roof . It is all Tig welded 4130 Chromoly . I was the first one to bring one to the market and got Moo and Catchaser all pumped up to make their own mad max looking designs.

Sending you a PM regarding cage...

Here is a link to the Cage thread before the new fad of everyone building their own.

At $300+ for a full cage......you cant go wrong by making your own...we all know that the Rampage needs a good cage too help hold it all together.

 

[Evildomain]

Yeah, the plastic cage is what stops me from doing some longer and higher jumps.


Don't want to land upside down and destroy the engine head plus my brand new shiny


pipe...

I actually have Catchasers old cage on my Truggy


He did a fantastic job on it, especially considering he was relatively new to fabricating when he made it.

 

[Evildomain]

Maybe if I had access to a welder I would attempt making a cage but I like Sprint77's design.


It's stock looking and easy to remove but will give me more protection than the plastic one.


Hope he's got one lying around that he can part with.

My cousin made me a half cage and I have not had any issues when I do roll it.
