Moto Blue

I have seen motoblue exhaust in some of my magazines but have never heard one. Anyone out there have on? Does it sound good? Have you noticed a power or mileage diff. since you put it on? Thnks.

I have a 5 in. full exhaust on my 06 6.0 and it went on great and sounds really good too. I have been told it sounds better than some have ever heard. fuel economy and power a little more, but for the price it was way better than I expected

WRONG

I have the 5in on my truck and it sounds great. It was a little close to the top heatshield in the back but i tweaked it and its fine. The front section fit PERFECT!

im one of them!
true, it would have fit if you own a big hammer and welder, but i dont have a welder to weld it together. the clamps wouldnt tighten up enough (broke a bolt trying to tighten it up), and the clamp hangers were no where near the factory hanger groms. i measured the pipes od/id with my calipers and some of the pipes were .100-.110 bigger than the pipe they were connecting to. and they were not notched so they could close up and make a clamp onto the pipe they were going on. super sloppy fit.

also the first pipe after the turbo down pipe had no room and sat on a crossmember bolt, no matter how the downpipe was adjusted. i guess i could have beat on it with a big hammer to make room for it.

i didnt even make it to the rear axle trying to fit it together. i took it to a guy who has been doing custom exhaust systems since the late 60,s,
he looked at it and dicked with it for about half hour and said he wouldnt put it on his truck if it was his. his exhact words was too sloppy/pisspoor design and build.
so i called up discount power parts and got a mbrp system. took me half hour to install it, by myself, no welder, hammer, just a wrench for the clamps, and a socket for the downpipe clamp.

i still have the 5 incher laying here in the box, actually its in the mbrp box, because even the box it came in was a bad design. it was the thinnest cardboard box ive ever seen. ill be glad to sell it to anyone who wants it, make me an offer! im gonna make a wind chime out of it before to much longer.

I know I posted before on this and your right. I did actually weld every seam but I always do. So sorry for you guys with no welder. but if I wasn"t welding them ,yes they would be sloppy. want do you want for yers setting in the box

Four years with mine. I had not issues getting it on the truck. Sounds great. I baught "sealclamps" so I have no leaks without welding the joints. Two hours to remove stock exhaust and install the MotoBlue 4" system with 5" stainless steel tip. I had to shorten the tail pipe 3 3/4" which was perfect to use for the CCV mod. PERFECT..

Keep Strokin'

I know that every one of my budget kits that go out I always keep check after the sale to make sure they're satisfied. Never any fit or customer service issues on my part and they're plenty of guys on here than can vouch for my kit.
