Exhaust...stacks vs conventional exhaust

[CArtola]

I just purchased my first diesel (06 quad 4x4 2500). . I would like to find out what the masses prefer... Help me decide what type of exhaust to put on my truck... (pros and cons) thx.

On a brand new truck I would get the MBRP muffler and cat delete pipe and leave it at that... Welcome to TDR.

thanks for the info

I put the MBRP on my 2003 and love it. Lots of "growl" under throttle and no annoying drone in the cab.

I also vote for mbrp and cat delete. I really like mine.

If I didn't tow my 5th wheel all the time, I would put stacks on the '06 too. I love the look and sound of stacks. They just take up too much room in the bed and cover the trailer with too much soot.

CArtola,



The guys are right get the MBRP or AFE replacement muffler that is designed specifically for the 2004. 5+ Dodges and the delete pipe and you're set for a lot less than a full system etc. Do a search here and you'll find literally hundreds of members that have done it and loved it!!

so I should not purchase the 5" system... I should just get the cat delete pipe and the muffler and I should be good to go. . I plan adding the banks six pack and intake manifold.

As long as the '06 isn't over-fueled and smokey, it shouldn't be a problem with soot at all, unless you get rain down them.



The ISX in the KW only gives a puff out of the stacks when I shift, and haven't had a soot issue, unless the rain gets in around the crappy clamps on the turn-outs. Need to put on some band clamps to fix that.

Has anyone tried adding a flapper cover to the top of the their stacks? I have an old model Thirty Cat with a cover over the stack. Looks cool when you throttle up and help keep the elements out- rain, leaves, bees etc.
