Most these kits exit the truck at a 90* angle to the truck bed, correct? How much do they stick out past the folded edge on the bottom of the panel?



Thanks!

in retrospect, I wish I would have gone w/ the 4" system vs. my 5" one.

Forrest, do you not like your 5" as well as you thought you would? I may be getting a 5" system, so tell me why you should have went with the 4"!



Thank you,

Nick

Nick,



I've always liked the sound of a straight piped Cummins... on my '92, I had 3" exhaust with a 4" tip... sounded great... a little loud on the highway, but not TOO bad...



I LOVE the way the later trucks sound with the stock system with straight pipe...



I also love the way a big 5" tailpipe looks, so I went 5"...



I had 4" exhaust into dual 5" stacks, and the resonance at 2500 RPM with the 5" straight system under the truck was EAR SPLITTING!!!! MUCH worse than the stacks!! I lined the interior with lead sheet which helped A LOT!!



I loved the way it sounded straight piped, and the HX40 sounded SICK through the tailpipe!



but on the highway, it was still a little annoying from ~2300 on up, and 2500 was pretty bad...



so I put a 12" long 4" diameter Dynomax bullet muffler on the downpipe about 3" from the turbo. it sounds great, but I miss my straight pipe sound...



I'm thinking/wondering if a straight 4" system would have had a little "tighter" sound and not have resonated so bad... who knows?



all I know is I've been seriously thinking about stacking the truck again! LOL! I'm thinking that with the lead lined interior, it might not be so bad, and if it gets a little hairy, I can put the bullet under the truck for long trips.



I've actually been thinking about a single stack... I could set up different stacks/mufflers and it would only take a couple seconds to swap them out depending on what mood I was in that day.

I had a 4" from the turbo back put on my 01' 2500 QC by Diesel Dynamics. they did the whole thing for 499. 00 installed. I love it!!!. My neighbor has a 4" magna flow on his 2001. 5 2500 QC and said that he didn't like his magna flow cause it made his truck too quiet. Mine is very loud and scares old ladies.



Just my two cents

I put the 4" SS MagnaFlow system from Rip on two months ago, and I love it. Quieted it down until I get into it, then it roars. Subtle till otherwise needed. Was a bit pricey, but worth every penny. Comes with a lifetime warranty.

Well I think it is finally time to upgrade the exhaust. The stock system is starting to get louder which is the perfect oportunity to upgrade to a louder less restrictive system.



Any recomendations regarding which system to install, without the brand wars?



I read above that it is best to go with a system with hangers welded to the pipe instead of the hangers.



I have looked at the Diesel Performance stainless system, Jardine or Jannetty any others that should be considered?

Well I bought Jardines for 300 bucks it went on pretty good it seemed as if it were a liilte short but a little tweek on the hangers and we are good to go. I like the sound and the service and price were right in line. What I dont like is the drone at 75 and up I think im going to look into a resonater or something to tone her down a bit. sounds good at lower speeds and during accell and is actually pretty quiet its just the drone at highway speed has got to go Mama aint gonna like it especially when I put the chittlins In and hook up the 5 er

Magnaflow 4" SS system. I love it. It has a nice mellow sound.
