Fun / Projects / with my 1997 America Dream
Borrowed a trailer and getting ready for some fun in the sun (it's cold here now 30's again tonight) I went and bought a 8 inch drop hitch, the 6 inch had the deck at too much of an angle, and ...

Ok, flash back, tail pipe project.
I have collected all the original parts, except they are new.
This is how the tail pipe looked this past winter before it fell off.
This is how it looked after the temporary fix I made after the chrome tip fell off.
I kind of liked the massiveness and the look of the big pipe, but I did not like the level of the noise it had, and yes with the big tip it did increase the sound level inside the coach going down the road.
So the 5 inch 90 degree bend needs to come off, and these band clamps allow that to happen with no damage to the pipe of muffler. In fact the clamp I used to for the temporary fix was the original clamp, I love stainless steel.
Off with it's head.
The new clamp and new tail pipe extension goes on.
I install the chrome tip this way first.
I did not like it, it looks so small and I was afraid it would blow dirt from the road up onto the trailer, so I then tried it the way it was originally.
What do you think, I think I want to put a bigger tip on, but I have other things to address.
Example for some reason the brake lights on the Motor Home have stopped working, but the trailer brake lights still work. Sounds like I have another project.
Anyone want a good slightly used 5 inch 90 degree bend exhaust pipe? I'll make you a good deal, it coast me $50, $15 and shipping and it is yours.
Let me know what you think of the orientation of the exhaust tip. Thanks.
