Exhaust

Inquiring minds need to know, I'm getting ready to order a 4 inch system for mine.
Hopefully I can get it and have it installed before the wife knows anything happened.
I was done with mine, start to fininsh, in 2 hours. That even includes the wrestling match I had with the extra long sawsall blade. Get a 6" blade before you start, cut it everywhere you need to, I made 4 cuts.
I can tell a difference in the sound when driving, just a bit louder as it passes under the cab. Outside you won't really hear any difference until you get to the right rear of the truck. Not much louder, nice tone. Several guys came out to hear mine at the Scheid Extravaganza. One was gonna change his aftermarket system to the Pinnacle Performance/Jardine system after listening to this one.
Jerry Jardine was at the Diesel Extravaganza with a cut up OEM muffler. You wouldn't believe the tiny holes the gas has to pass through to get out the other end. There are lots of them in some twisted path that must be a carbon molecule's nightmare. With the Jardine you get a straight thru muffler that does not bend the exhaust gas paths. (I'll check the exact mfgr. and edit tomorrow).
Overall quality is very good, hangers fit in the factory locations without any modifications. I opted for the SS tip and is welded to the rest of the pipe quite nicely. Run a search for exhausts because someone posted a picture of the current tip. You may not care for it as much as other designs but he only offers one. You could skip the SS tip and add one of your choice later.
Sorry I got so long but I am very please with the way it fit in the OEM mounts and its overall sound. I didn't want a screaming loud exhaust system.
Use the WWCD2 page for a great deal.
