afe exhaust

[hopperwagonbob]

just wondering how much louder it is. right now I just have the dpf delete and was going to get the cat delete. dont want any more noise or smoke just a little more whistle. any other suggestions? and has anyone got the new afe intake? thanks been away from site awhile.

[hopperwagonbob]

well, I ordered the afe ss exhaust w/ muffler from DPF DELETE PIPES and the S an B intake. nice guy. but I did not tell him it was a reg cab. will this matter on the length? did not get the down pipe yet because I did not want to cut the stock one yet but it sure looks like it would fall right down out of there. thanks. next I want to replace the tube on the right side of intercooler that looks like it was smashed on accident not on purpose.

not sure about the afe but other exhaust mfg, send the same kit whether you have a reg cab or cc doesnt matter you just dont use some of the pieces...i assume afe would be the same,maybe someone else will chime in and let you know about afe

It doesn't matter, like ant250 said, you just don't use all the pipe. Hope you enjoy.

thanks, i will report back when done. still want to do the down pipe though.

I've got the AFE without the muffler and love the sound. Kinda sounds like a jet fighter. I've heard the muffler eliminates some of that sound but makes it too quiet too.

A muffler on the AFE exhaust sounds as quiet as stock with a little bit of a whistle. I ran my truck like that for a few weeks. I couldn't take it. Now I am straight piped and loving it......again lol.

well here is my update. going ahead an doing the down pipe. will be here wed. got the stock one off in 1 piece by removing 2 tranny back bolts and taking the motor mount nuts off lifting the trans up 1/2 inch and over 3/4 pulled the trans dipstick tube. and pulled and wiggeled it out. doing the cold air tube also. any suggestions on getting the cold tube out?

oh yea, one more thing what is all that stuff after the cold air pipe with the square ss 2x4 box then goes to the ex manifold i think? is this the egr deal? also has a rubber tube that goes to a coolant tank. looks like trouble waitin to happen. I am ole school. thanks.
