Clutch, Exhaust options...Just need help

[MHindman]

Hey everyone.
My name is Michael, and im new to the TRD club. I have some questions. I am really in need of a clutch. I wanted to see what you all thought about clutches. I want a clutch that will hold up, and not slip... but i dont want to spend 1000$. Centerforce or Luk Progold, South Bend? I have been told good and bad things about all three. I am going to get either the DDI's or the 275 hp injectors, but thats the end of me bombing. I think . Have any of you ever ran dual pipes out the back? I have thought about it, and if i got the 4inch down pipe, ran two 2 inch pipes off of that. . then out the back? Will it work? Is it worth the time? Let me know if anyone has tried this... or if anyone knows who sell this setup. Thanks everyone. Keep trucking.

Hi Michael. Welcome to the TDR. I'll give you my opinions on your needs. I have the Centerforce Dual Friction. It has held up for 45,000 miles with the few mods I have (check sig. ). If you are even THINKING of more mods in the future, spend the extra money now and buy a better clutch.

On the exhaust, the single 4" downpipe splitting off into two smaller pipes works fine. That's how mine is set up, except I have all 3". My recommendation would be something larger than 2". Problem is that 3" is hard to fit around the spare tire. I had to remove mine. 2 1/2" might fit fine.

Mike,
I have dual 3" all the way and my spire tire is still in and operational. you need to find a good pipe bender and installer.
