2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Inspection/exhaust dilema

[WyattEarp]

Okay inspection due this month okay exhaust system shot, she is running from the turbo and out the resonator can thats it, i do need one of those large U-clamps right there to, dang dodge design, lets weld the hangers to the exhaust . . Should i go ahead and purchase another muffler elimination kit from Genos as i did when the muff went buh by. . Or hmmmm dang a stack would sounds so good... Money wise im betting on the MEK from geno's. .

Just needing some thought from the guys out there with stack, me personaly i don't care what the stack looks like,, No chrome, I wonder if a used stach from a road tractor with reducer would work under the bed Hmmmmmmm. . :-laf

WyattEarp,



Most likely if it has failed at the resonator it's ready to fail at other locations too, you might want to check on replacing the entire system with a performance system.

thanks for the plug. . But if i do get a system it will be through a local shop, but doubtful, im thinking of getting a pipe run from the resonator so far back and having a turn down either placed on it, or having the pipe bent that way... Im not sure the MEK from geno's is worth my time again as that is the part that rusted out, the only part that isn't rusted out is the very end of the exhaust tip.

WyattEarp,



We've had lots of folks do that, but the sound from under the body is pretty loud for most folks, you might like it but most don't. You can also have the soot start to collect on the truck and trailer too if it smokes much!

In the state of VA the exhaust must clear the body line and exit outside the vehicle. You can't just turn it down under the bed. If that passes it is because the inspector is your buddy. Go get yourself a SS exhaust. I got MBRP from shopdiesel.com for about 400, turbo back. No more rusty exhaust ever. And even with the muffler it sounds really good.
