What do you guys think?
Had some JBA headers installed and had the exhaust shop bring my "idea" to life. What do you guys think? Yes that's a 5" diesel exhaust tip

Re: What do you guys think?
Cut wasn't exactly what I was looking for, wish it matched the radius of the tip more but I'm not exactly worried about rust out here in arid socal. I may throw some touch up paint on the edge just for protection.

Re: What do you guys think?
Take the tip off, make a very smooth curve to follow the conture of the exaust tip. weld a small bead around the inside edge for support, prep, prime, paint... it will look sweet when it's done correctly.

Re: What do you guys think?
Looks like a great, original idea but bad execution. Nothing a good body shop can't clean up.

Re: What do you guys think?
I'd have to agree with all the above.... awesome idea, no so good execution. You better get a body shop or somebody to fix that up, the paint around the cut may start to get f'd up if you don't.

Re: What do you guys think?
I fixed it up a bit, radiused (sp?) the hole to match the tip and threw on some touch up paint around the inside and edges to guard against corrosion. Not really all too worried about up close looks though cause there are quite a few rock dings in that area. Thanks for the feedback though. Maybe someday she'll get a whole new coat of paint. This truck is an 04 with 80,000 plus miles on it btw.

Re: What do you guys think?
Well at this point,I would now get some door edge guard molding (very thin) and install around the edge to at least cover the jagged edges.Might want to paint the bare metal before you install this.

Re: What do you guys think?
I really like the JBA's. Although seat of your pants i really can't tell much. Weird thing though, the truck seems to shift wayyyyy smoother with the headers on, don't know why. Also it sounds pretty cool almost like i was firing my stock 40 series into a tunnel, gets damn loud but as most of you know doesn't sound quite as good without a load on it.

Re: What do you guys think?
I really went with the JBA cause my third exhaust manifold cracked and it just seemed like it would solve my problems long term. The stockers are $700 each from Nissan.
