Another 4" exhaust question

[cwarner]

I've been on OT since the begining of the year and the money is burning holes in my pockets !

Bought a new snowmobile trailer

Installed a FASS

Now I want 4" exhaust on the truck. I almost picked up the phone and ordered Rip's but then I came across a thread that talked about some mileage loss with bigger exhaust. That I don't want.

I would figure your mileage would increase.

I've noticed quite a few people getting new exhaust so what have you guys been seeing ?

IMO, the only mileage loss will be from your right foot enjoying the new found cool exhaust note.

i agree with 24v-DSL. . . . when i initially put my first exhaust on my truck, i would just rip on it to hear my turbo sing. other than that, i got better fuel mileage, im averaging something like 20-22 mpg on the hwy.

You can't go wrong with Rip's exhaust! A great person to deal with and a great product!

I just built my own and noticed about 1. 5 mpg when i can keep my foot out of it

I agree. I also have a 4" exhaust, I have the Jerry Jardine from Wyoming and it will not hurt fuel consumption if you drive like you do now. You will like the sound of it though.

Just added a 4" to mine, and noticed a power increase. Once I keep my foot out of it, I will see about a 1-2mpg increase.

I saw about a . 5mpg increase w/ the 5". Only other mod at the time of install, was a BHAF.

AKA the RRF I can't understand that the turbo has to work less.

You will love it. I went to visit a friend I haul hay for and was going up his driveway, gravel in 2nd gear to keep the dust down. He was in the yard playing with his dogs, and when I pulled up, he asked first thing, what I had done to the truck. I just grinned and he looked at the twin pipes. He said it looked like my truck coming up the drive, but sure didn't sound like it. I asked what, is it louder? He said not louder, but it sure sounded meaner. Gotta love it.

Rips "Diamond Eye" system rocks with the supplied Allied Muffler. You'll love it!

Well ,

I got Rip's exhaust on last night. Very nice kit, needed a little tweaking here and there but basically a simple install.

I fired it up and was surprised at how quiet it was at an idle, just a little lower note. Now when you get on the throttle is when you get some sound ! I'm loving it. No drone, but I haven't towed yet.

So far I'm very happy with the system.
