Are there any companies that make a prefabricated exhaust system for our Patrols? I've looked online and have not found anything as of yet.

There isn't one as far as I recall. In my notes I have the following info regarding a muffler:

AP Exhaust 709993 at Amazon (Zed installed this one and also Justin Jwgreen and Pdub)

Thanks Esteban. That is a nice muffler, I've put it in my 'save for later' Amazon cart. The pipe I would really like to find is the downpipe that starts at the exhaust manifold and comes down past the front axle driveshaft and then turns horizontal. I can handle the rest of the system.......I don't plan on running it all the way to the back anyway.

Maybe RiverPatrol has a NOS pipe? :D

What is the exhaust pipe diameter (OD) between the exhaust manifold and muffler?

I want to order some mandrel bends and straight sections of exhaust pipe to build my exhaust system, but I won't be able to measure the exhaust pipe on the Patrol for a week or so..

Backfire. When I take my foot off the accelerator and start rolling down a hill my exhaust backfires a few times. Not a big BANG but just a few small bangs.

What causes this? I have backed off the mixture a little bit no major improvement.
Not sure if I will get there.

A vacuum leak can case this.

A leak of the exhaust system. A failed gasket for instance, that allows oxygen to enter the exhaust once you take the foot of the throttle will cause what you describe.

So, how does the oil filter canister center shaft come apart so the small diameter rubber gasket under the bolt head can be changed out?
