my exhaust bender with swedging / shrinking is my new favorite tool. 


used the auto bend feature to make two identical bends today for first time.  was awesome to just push a button and have repeatability.

Newer Hemi Rams have a resonator (or a tiny muffler?) after the muffler.  But any performance systems have it between the cat and muffler.

pre-muffler, not post? I honestly don't know - I was thinking I'd seen them on the later hemi trucks back near the tail pipe

I'll even let you use your porta-band if you want ;D. It should be here today. Can go in the straight pipe between cat and muffler.

I'm interested to see if the third pump change is better. I suspect these are at least slightly shoddy remans and that new Mopar will fix that.

I'll be happy to practice more exhaust welding when the resonator comes in but if it needs a bend in a better place, there's a better guy and machine for that than I!

Drivetrain fluid change last weekend. Transmission fluid and filters looked relatively new. I was hoping it was gross and a change would make it work better ;D.  Other fluids were definitely ready for a changing. 

Put on a giant muffler, the largest one that Dynomax max in fact. It is much quieter but still has that tinny sound. Ordered a resonator, hopefully that helps.

Second power steering pump is making a loud ticking noise like the last one.  Shop is going to put in a Mopar unit.

it was tolerable with just the initial header wrap i had. 

today i added 2" of fiberglass mat and 2 aluminum sheilds over that.  the initial header wrap is like 4-5 layers thick.

how's the shoulder to manifold comfort and noise situation? Satisfactory?
