Sorry to go right on the defense. But most times ppl give me heat about making my own shafts. I make them for a lot of ppl with no problems. Best advice is Measure 20 times weld once lol. It's actually very easy

Ok all u lurkers. I want opinions. The exhaust was supposed to be hidden in the frame. The guy ran it under my t case. He said he'll do the whole thing over if I'm not happy. What's the consensus? Do u love it or hate it? I'm ok with it. My friends are saying have him re-do it.

Stone crusher.
Whatever makes service and/or removal of the transfer case the easiest. No one in the world will care if they can see that section of the exhaust, but you will certainly care if you have to remove the exhaust every time you need to drop or service the case. For me, functional over form every time!
Heath
X 2^^^^ on function over form.
Although I hope you aren't dropping the t-case too often. That's pretty serious not just for funnsies kind of work. Probably at ride height and with the body on, nobody would know how it was run without climbing under it. If they want to complain at that point let them. i think it comes down to convienience for you. If you aren't happy and having it redone is not an impediment, then do it. If it is going to slow you down and you are indifferent about it, let it ride.

Thanks guys for the input. I'm torn between the clean stream line look of the pipe in the frame and the easy removal of the pipe under neath. Its funny on binder planet everyone everyone says exactly opposite. Well see how i feel in a week. He said he'll have an opening in the schedule in a week to redo it
