So has anyone figured out 5" yet???

[sparks57]

I've been curiouse lately, has anyone figured out how to fit 5" under these pigs yet?



I'm not saying that because I want it... 4" is enough. In fact, 4" has been found to flow better than 5" in many applications... I'm just curiouse.

Hey Chris,

the other day I saw a chevy dually with not one, but two big ol' 5" fatties hangin' out the back behind the rear wheels :--) :--) :--) I had to chase the guy down at the supermarket to find out what was under the hood that needed two 5"ers! thought maybe he had a CTD conversion or something 'cause you'd be wastin' your money if it was a 6. ? chev POS! turns out he's gettin' ready to drop in a 502 in a month or so. Any how it was way impressive looking!

So does anyone know if it is physically possible to run 5" pipe after the downpipe? I am going to make a 4" downpipe...

Chris in a 4X4 NO way maybe in a 2wd. I have a 4" rip system on my 4X4 and it barly fits I mean 1/4 betweem the t-case and the pipe about about 3/8 between the pipe and the frame.

I have seen kits out there for 5" do I think it is possible. Unfortunalty I can't remember who makes them. Look on the ATS website, I think they have them. I actually remember seeing an 02 dually with 5" exhaust now that I think about it.

 

[Sled Puller]

Yes.

 

[sparks57]

Ok, then how? They must have run the pipe outside the frame or something, because the people here who have 4" say there is very little clearance between the pipe/frame/t-case.



So what the pipe run differently?



Or maybe did they drop it down in that area?

 

[Sled Puller]

I read it on Diesel-Central long time ago, ask over there.

 

[bmoeller]

Maybe they crushed the pipe some near the t-case, if it was still run within the frame.

 

[sparks57]

I looked over on DC, but no luck.



If you have to crush the pipe down to near-4" size, then there's no point in going to 5" because that restriction there would add more back pressure. Exhaust can only flow as well as the tightest restriction.

Did you ask?

Join and ask. 1st gen gys read that site several times a day. They like it because it is free, they are on budgets.

 

[sparks57]

I tried looking around but that site is a PITA to navigate...



I'll try again later.

 

[sparks57]

Ok, I'm just waiting for membership confirmation.

I have a 4" that runs under the frame, then up to the center front of the bed where I added a y pipe (inside the bed) to split it to 5" stacks. You could run it beside the frame, but then you would still have to cross over to the center to balance the smoke flow. I ordered all my parts from Rikers at a local semi parts shop.



There are also some articles on http://www.dieselram.com search first gen for "stacks".

 

[sparks57]

Well, I asked over on DC, and found out! It just takes some miter cutting.
