and how i would run the exhuast ?

from the ones i see that run around here they cut holes in there bed and run them behind the cab, one guy i talked to said he made them himself, he then said he had 800 into them, seemed kinda spendy too me, other than that i dont know.

67Polara

wow, way more then i'm willing to spend on an exhuast

Only do them if you have a diesel. There is not enough backpreasure got a gas motor.

You can buy stacks for cheaper than $800, it all depends on how complete a kit you want.

Stacks are for Diesels, Warlocks, and Little Red Express's. Sorry Man. But on this matter of price I've seen compete kits for 6" Stacks running 400 on the low side, thats just for stacks, and some bendable piping stuff. I think for a complete Cat Back Kit... or Complete kit you are looking at a good chunk of change. Atleast from what I've seen.

no worries about back pressure, going to be running 2 1/2 from the headers to the bed if i do it, but i wanna do somthing to make it stand out.

brandon, its already red, i can make it into the big red express LOL

You'd actually be surprised how much backpressure effects your gas milage and power band.

I had an exahuast that ended two feet behind the cab when I had a 2000 Dodge Dakota ex-cab/short bed with a V6. My gas mileage when from 19MPG to 13MPG and I had to about 2500RPM if I had any kind of load in the bed or even pulling a light weight trailer. I went through three trannies because of it.

ehhhhhhhh stacks on anything but a diesel just makes it look weird and you cant roll coal

wow... thats intresting....
never thought id see you on here again rob. saw a D350 dualley reg cab w/ a shorth bed and stacks 2day @ work 91 looked just like urs but manlyer LOL

ramjam

i float around here and cumminsforum but its like bigfoot everybodys seen it but me

Stacks have plenty of backpressure, if your running the cat, there's your pressure.

But stacks on a gas truck, well, thats kinda....................

Beerstop

just investigate the lil red express setup and it should be fine.

67Polara

yeah, i kno stacks on a gas truck, its gay stupid pointless... but idc but its different

it sounds different too, actually, from my ecperiance, pretty good. my buddy had stacks on his ram that had a v10, and it sounded like a detroit diesel. listen to youtube vids to help u decide

i'll check into that, havnt decided on a muffler yet either, right now it just has cats and the resinator. not really loud enough for me lol

When I had my 2000 Dodge Dakota I had the exhaust cut off behind the cab. It ran from the collector into the cat, into the muffler (Flowmaster 40) and into a turndown that was ~12" long. I was running 300-600 high on the city roads and 600-900 RPM higher on the highway. As soon as I lengthed the exhuast to up and over the rear axle, I was running much closer to what the stock RPM range was.

That goes to show what backpressure can do for you. If you want loud, get a Flowmaster 80 series, Super 44ex or Super 44 series muffler and remove the resonators.

think i would lose alot of back pressure if i dump it right before the back tire, the mega cab is on the 2500 crew cab long bed frame.
