Cat pipes and driveshaft

[Kimberlee]

Just bought a 99 K1500..(Needs some work, dont laugh...Got it cheap).Pretty sure its got a rough country lift on it...Had to install cat pipes (live in PA) and my issue is the pipes run right in front of front driveshaft...Instead of cutting the new pipes, is there any kind of extensions (3 bolt) i can get instead of cutting and welding? ugh....Help (first time poster)

If you extend those down it won't fit to the rest of the exhaust. Cutting and welding is your only option other than remove the lift that is installed. Because that may be the cause of the front diff not being in the right spot.

Thank you so much....I was getting super frustrated here...The lift is the reason why...I figured if I extended them to run UNDER the driveshaft, instead of cutting the pipe...

Don’t take stuff off that’s just silly. You can add to it, there ARE slip on extensions as well as ones you can weld. I’d get the extension and weld it, I’ll post a pic of mine

i have a 98 and my pipes don't come close to driveshaft , but i dont have a lifted truck , i think you have the wrong pipes installed, maybe a custom exhaust
