Thompson,
Doesn't Rimmer Bros. already make a 109" exhaust in SS?

Yes, RB offers the Series 109" in stainless, though there are several options (4- 6cylinder, early late petrol/diesel, 109 V8 etc), thus it would be a nightmare for inventory to cover all.

I looked at that one on Ebay but i have to have more than a "pretty sure it will fit" before I pull the trigger.
I would be interested in a SS system through RN. Kind of like buying a galv. frame, you only need to do it once.

Sorry, didn't get to this one... Yes, Les answered it, they do.Originally Posted by jp-
The exhaust fits very good. It sounds fine. A little deeper, but not really louder- well maybe a little. It is hard to explain, but it also feels better. You must understand that for two months prior to my install, I was running with bailing wire and soup cans holding my stock steel exhaust together.
The stock exhausts are made of such poor steel (in my opinion) that i would only recomend buying the NRP exhaust. The only drawback is the price. $530.00 seems too much. It is just pipe and a muffler. Don't get me wrong, the bends are precise, the fit is perfect and the tig welds are high quality.
The left rear bump stop bolt on the inboard side of the frame rail is the closest thing to the pipe. But it does not touch.
I would recomend it.
In the twelve years I have owned my series, I have bought 3 exhausts, and I think they rust quicker each time. I don't know if the road salts have gotten stronger or the alloys steels have gotten dirtier, or a combanation of both.

Yes the steel quality is falling in many areas (not all, but many). My company produces steel strut (5 million feet a month). As part of our ISO requirements, all steel comes in (to us) with spec sheets.
The reason for the cost, as with all things that last forever, is that you will never need to buy another one. Therefore, they have to make more money on the front end because there is no chance of a return purchase in the future. This is true with all companies that sell durable (or incredibly durable) goods.
