Installed these new side mirrors today. Power folding, puddle light, turn signal indicator, memory and heated. They work awesome!

Swapped the emblems with the 2500HD version like the pickups get.

Went from this:




...and two hours later to this:




It's a passenger side exhaust tip from a Pontiac G8 GT. I found a driver/passenger side set on Craigslist for $20 about two years ago and finally put one on my S10 not long before I sold it. This was necessary cuz the relocated battery was being cooked by the turn-down exhaust:






Fast forward to a few months ago: The same guy had another set of the tips on CL, so I bought those as well, again, for the passenger side tip. Not long after that I saw an ad for some leftover 3" mandrel-bent exhaust tubing from a Flowmaster kit. It's twin pipes with about 18" straight, then an over-the-axle arch, then another straight about 18". I couldn't pass up having all the mandrel bends I would ever need for small exhaust projects such as this for $20.

I had a short day at work today and wanted to knock out this little project. I started jacking up the rear around 3:20 and was headed inside for a shower around 5:20. The G8 tip had a 2.25" inlet, so I started by squashing a piece of the 3" tube into an oval 2.25" high:




Then I cut off the back of the tip to match the tube's opening size:




I don't see this as being a restriction:




After some careful mock-up, I was ready to pass the "Point of No Return" and I cut off the resonator just downstream of the hanger:




After more mock-up, minor trimming, etc., I welded the tube to the tip:




... and the whole thing to the factory tubing:




No pics, but I wire-brushed, cold-galvanized, and painted all the welds and new piping with semi-gloss black.


Pics with Tahoe back on the ground. My phone was having difficulties focusing because of the sunlight coming in through the westward door:










I'll polish them when I get around to washing the truck.

Thanks guys! Y'all probably saw the Jeep and cat pics a few minutes ago LOL. Photobucket was tripping balls and linking the wrong pics. It's fixed now.
