Hey Woody did you ever get the exhaust on your truck? I have two of them to put exhaust on and was wondering how it worked before I order anything.

A 96 Cummins I bet not there pretty rattly. I'm not really going for noise kind of growing out of that stage of life. I am more looking at going 4" for the flow thats one of the problems they have is they don't flow enough out the back I just don't wan't it to sound annoying or be a pain to put on. One of the trucks I am putting it on is the one I am going to drive every day and the other is a older guys suburban.

Thats kinda strange usually they don't rattle that bad.

Is there some reason you hate your 6.5 so bad? I have 3 right now 2 of them I drive and one I am building and I love mine. Granted they don't compare to a new diesel on power but both mine have over 300,000 miles on them and I rarely work on them.

Well 6 out of 8 isn't bad. I'm just mess with you remember your in the 6.5 area. The Cummins is a very good diesel especially if you are going to heavily modify them or if you are pulling really heavy loads a lot. Now if your just driving them and are not planing on going for the big numbers I like the 6.5 just think they are a little more driver friendly just my opinion though.

That suck's man. Just wanted to know I have a couple of them I need to put exhaust on and wanted to know before I buy. My pmd went out on my 95 just one week after I had the manifold of to run some fuel lines. Thought I should have changed it because the pmd has about 100,000 miles on it and I didn't want to mess with something that is still working on a truck I am going to sell. So I guess I have to take the manifold back of or spend the money on a new cable. Crap I haven't had to work on it for a long time it hears I am selling it and everything goes to crap.
