So my exhaust from my muffler back just fell off and was hanging there when I got off work today. I peaked under the truck and sure enough it was rusted away. So time to get a new exhaust.

I have the truck in my sig and what I wanted to know was what I should get. I want to cut out the cat and muffler but I don't know if I want to run it straight back or run it the way the stock exhaust was. A buddy of mine ran dual straights out the back of his chevy 2500 (gas) and he said he hated it. It was waay to load for him. I understand diesels are different sounding and I don't mind some truck noise but I don't want it over bearing. I'm not sure about runing duals either. 4" or 5"?

Anyone out there that can help me decide or have some imput? Thanks!

 

I'd run a 4" with a flow through muffler. MBRP Performance Series probably best bang for your buck.

 

Yea I would keep a muffler if your not looking for a big sound and get duals with 5 or 6 in tips or a 5" single

 

MBPR Installer series, with muffler, SINGLE 4" or 5". If you had a V engine with 2 turbos, maybe duals then, otherwise I think it looks dumb, and is impractical. But I like a clean, simple look. I painted my exhaust with BBQ paint before installing, and did a little touch up afterwards as well. The paint is lasting extremely well, and isn't flashy at all. Nice and sleak.

 

I have duals and love the look. 4" MBRP, when it's time to roal coal it lays it out nice and wide...

 

i bought a diamond eye straight pipe exhaust from the turbo back and i enjoy it. just put straight pipe on there and if u don't like it just simply add a muffler

 

Cheaper to buy a 4" or 5" straight pipe kit on ebay, when u get it... high temp coat is black put it on. If u dont like how loud it is, its already installed so u can cut in a muffler with flex pipe

 

Thanks guys! I think I'm going to run 5" and have it dump out the side where it was. I can't quite commit to running straight back and duals doesn't really strike my fancy. I could run duals out the sides but I can do that later if I want to add another. Thanks for the suggestions!

Local shop wants $10 a linear foot for 5" plus installation and labor

 

4" is all you need 5" is waste of time.

 

Performance wise? Yes. The bigger bore pipe does give a different tone though.
