exhaust

[00powerstrokin]

what brand of exhaust do you prefer? i am looking to get 4inch turbo back with no muffler . do the kits actually install as easily as they say they do?

I got mine from www.warpspeedperformance.com . Mine went on very easily, the hardest part was gettin the v-clamp off the turbo housing which holds the downpipe on.

I've got the MBRP turbo back and like I've told others, it's alright. They go together VERY easy - like LilRed said the hardest part for me was getting off the band at the turbo for the down pipe and even that only took about 5 or 10 minutes.

Don't buy bully dog....everything i've heard is they fit for (expletive). I knew most kits would fit good, but my magnaflow I bought was perfection. It kind of surprised me me how well it fit. And, like everyone else I had the turbo clamp woes too.....took me about 10 minutes to get that sucker loose. Oh and the downpipe kind of siezes up a little to the turbo outlet. I just cut the downpipe right where it bends at the bottom to head toward the rear of the truck and moved it back and forth gently until it broke loose up top....

I did the same think that Smoke did to get mine out. As far as that clamp went mine was just TIGHT and I was being VERY cautious because my rig was so new. I loosened it up and it did nothing so I messed with it for a few minutes and finally gave it a little persuasion with a screwdriver and it popped right off......LOL! My spell checker wanted to replace popped with poop. DOH!

I got mine through Summit racing. I think Warpspeed makes this for them. The 4" system a got was $299.00 and only $8.00 to ship because of the amount spent. I bought an air filter and a nice tip at the same time. Any time I pre plan a project I always spray the WD-40 on the night before. It will help with the v-band clamp.

I didn't realize that the stock exhaust system was stinkin heavy ya know? I had the piece I hacked off a few inches before the cat and it had about 2 feet of pipe after it and it seemed like I could bench it and get some serious guns!

Yah buddy, It's more work taking off the old for sure. It will probably out the truck. I didn't want to find out. I can't leave anything alone you know. How was yours for clearance at the shock. I had to move the shock mount over to stop the "bumping" on rough roads. I thought it should be further away for shock heat also. You know you can rotate the shock mounts on the axle if you raise the back and have good shocks.

My mangaflow has at least a couple of inches from the shock. I added another hanger to extra stability at the last few feet of pipe, since someone had removed the hanger attachment from the frame...I can kick it pretty hard and it gives maybe an inch or so which is good for me.
