took me a while but I finally did it. 4" straight piped mbrp. Didn't opt for a tip because past experience has shown that mud tires + nice tips= trashed tips before too long.
I'm gonna paint it black before putting it on.
ok, UPS dropped off the exhaust today. It took everything I had to not tear into it right then and swap it out without painting it but I managed to hold off. I threw a couple of quick coats on it tonight and will put it on either tomorrow or Friday. I'm fairly mechanically inclined but is there any pitfalls I should know about? I've done headers, heads/cam swaps, rear swaps, tranny swaps, and things like that on cars so I'm sure I can get it but if there are any tips or advice you guys have to offer I'm all ears.
ended up with diamond eye. 4" straight pipe is 4" straight pipe for the most part. $245 shipped so I'm not complaining. Got it installed today. Took me ~3 hours by myself on the floor but probably 2 hours of that was getting the old stuff off. I had issues with my sawzall which slowed me down quite a bit. I still have to get video but I'll need the wife to help with that so hopefully in the next day or two. Love the sound. Not near as loud as I expected and I'm not sure what drone people are talking about but it's not bad at all. Just sounds like a gas burner truck with dual exhaust to me. That is until you drop the hammer.......that thing roars at WOT. Love the increased turbo sound too. Money well spent IMO.
thanks....the plan now is to probably address the stereo situation. I was going to go gauges and a pod but honestly I have the car to go fast in so I'm not sure if I'll ever mod the truck too much. I may still do gauges down the road....they're just not a "need" right now like a better sound system is.
