I have a Coronado glider, Detroit down pipe is "S" style, and anyone looking for the S pipe on a Detroit equipped freightliner Century, Columbia or Coronado, the Freightliner Classic used the exact same pipe. I replaced mine and a dealer was being ignorant because "gliders are difficult to find parts for", so I asked for an S pipe for a classic. Great vid bro, absolutely well detailed.

Very nice looking setup, thanks for taking the time to make a very informative video.

Bruh I’ve been looking for the last year or so that I’ve had my 2003 century for a video like this. Thanks Bruh all the way from Birmingham Alabama!

No problem glad it helped!

Love the set up, good work. I wanna hear it

Nice set up bro 🔥

Good video Sir, even better doing your own work.. money saved

Nice video dude👍🏻

Thank you! Hope it helped.

[@enriquedelacruz7398]

Good video brotha you should make a video of how it came out with both done and how it sounds

[@vaughncowan4055]

Remember everyone! Just because it works, doesn't mean it's gonna last. 😢

Looks good

[@bobbyhamilton7751]

THANK YOU

[@derrickevans2253]

Hey bro when the cab bounce up and down do that not hurt the straight pipes

[@aldochavez2511]

Do you no the part number for the bracket that goes on the frame to the exhaust on the driver side?

[@kevinparker2222]

Good Video. I'm going to add 7 inch on the back of my Columbia but I am concern about with the exhaust mounted rigid to the frame and then the stack mounted to a moving cab. Have you had any issues with the flex pipe breaking? Thanks for your help

[@vaughncowan4055]

Off course he had issues. He did it the wrong way. He eliminated the crucial parts of the exhaust system.

[@vaughncowan4055]

Bro. Those pipes get up to over 1100 degrees! Why would he bolt them to the back of the cab like that? And there's not enough room for cab bounce. 😢

[@cesaresparza07]

Good informative video bro 👍....but u lost me when u said 4200 😂😂😂😂 looks good tho...cost alot to be cool

[@hectorsfa5935]

Where did you purchase the stacks

[@waynelitherland2524]

Does your truck air lines run down the middle or on the left

[@waynelitherland2524]

Nice video

[@tonyk2757]

Hi !just a quick insight ,did you put into consideration that the truck frame and the truck cabin have two different articulations.if you look at the oem set up of the stack the bracket that actually holds it to the cabin has a moving joint that allows the up and down movement. If you don't allow that movement in your set up it will stress your flex pipe that joins the elbow & make it break.(you will be changing that quite often).

[@peterbilt484]

The stock setup has it because the elbow is frame mounted. You don't need that when stacks are cab mounted. It's the same way it's done on Peterbilts.

[@tonyk2757]

@@peterbilt484 Thats cool!that makes sense.The reason I brought up the point is because,I had a century and I ran into the problem of my flex pipe breaking every now and then until I took it to a mechanic who worked at freightliner and realized that that cabin bracket was too tight and didn't allow any movement.After we loosened it, i never ran into that issue again.

[@tonyk2757]

Thank you brother, be safe and keep trucking

[@peterbilt484]

@@tonyk2757 No problem! Glad to help

[@vaughncowan4055]

I said the same thing. You're right!

[@reginalddopson1772]

Man come on get to the other side I want to hear it run

[@ianmusgrove8802]

Can I do this to a cascadia

[@TheRoadhammer379]

Not out the back of the sleeper. I have seen a few Cascadia with pipes up the side like peterbilt but it is a big job

[@jdavis02136]

What size stacks bro

[@King_Alpha001]

7 inch i think he said

[@TheRoadhammer379]

he said 7

[@TrainboyRR]

are you a truck driver

[@vaughncowan4055]

No disrespect but... that's a Jimmy rig job you did. Those parts will not last long bolted together like that. Remember. The cab bounces while going down the road and it drops when there's no air in the system. You shouldn't have eliminated the frame bracket that holds the elbow or the top flex bracket. Those parts are critical for a long lasting exhaust system on the Columbia and Century Class models.

Мне кажется что крепить трубы к кабине не очень хорошо, ведь она на падушках, сильно гуляет. Будет рвать гофры, нужно крепить к раме, будет правельней.

[@javis4572]

You are doing too much unnecessary explanation but good content anyway

[@reginalddopson1772]

Looking good my man looking good but you try to explain everything to a tea and that is not very necessary and you need to work as you talk

[@dnett6917]

This guy is not smart at all exhaust is not hard to get on and alien up he needs to stay home out of trucking

[@joekryzak2520]

It looks like,why is one out from the cab it’s a shade tree job and I’m being nice

[@TheRoadhammer379]

You could have just said nothing but you chose to be a c*nt
