On the recommendation of another F5 Forums member, I’ve gone with Magnaflows in place of the Factory Five cans. They are a bit shorter and I’m still working on sealing the joints up. Here some pics of the mock up. I’ll update these pics when it is completed
As you can see the Mangnaflows are shorter and wider than the F5 stuff.

Well everything done on the exhaust so far ain’t gonna work. The flow of the exhaust is working against the joints and is gonna leak just as sure as I’m typing this. Thank goodness for the pipe spreader. I opened each pipe up from front to back so they exhaust will flow into the connection rather than over it.
You can also see I replaces all the clamps with a considerably stronger clamp from Maganflow. They are 1 1/2 inch bands of steel with not only allows for LOTS of clamping power but also a fair amount of stiffness.

We found some more time to work on the exhaust. While we now have lots of vertical stiffness we still ne some lateral support. With Andy’s help we took the stock hangers supplied by Factory Five and treaded the ends. The Boy (Kamryn) painted them up and made them ready for install.
We strategically placed the clamps and with 3/8″ nuts and washers I was able to draw the exhaust from side to side. She’s solid as a rock…. hell you can almost walk on it!
Then it was a matter of making sure the lengths were the same side to side and everything in the right place them clampin’ it all down.
