Mine were both very clean. I was shocked with theothertwin, since it was a K9 unit.
I had to use a plastic brush to clean it off in addition to some foaming cleaner. Was horrible.

also need to charge up the ac a bit. Took 18oz and still warm in the back. I have a feeling I’ll be changing some items out.

On my way home from visiting my son at his new house. My daughters father in law driving his 70 Challenger T/A pulls along side and wacks it , gets the jump and I hold with him. HaHaHa your hot rod just barely beat my 5K pound porker.

Headers and better flowing exhaust and he'd be in the rear view mirror. I still have the 5.3 cats and exhaust on.

Awesome. I love surprising people with The Beast. Some guys get really pissed off and do stupid shit afterwards though, so I have to know when to let it go after I beat them.

I still remember this road raging ****** in a ford pickup.
Surprised the crap out of him when i left him in the dust going up the on ramp.

In the distance i see his trucks front end bob like he just did a hard down shift trying to keep up.

:yaoface2:

Then to make up for it, he blows past me at an unsafe speed and nearly hits 3 cars.

:derp:




I can't wait to see how the hoe does with the newer and more bigger engine.
:cool:

From the crossmember after the third cat, back to the exhaust hangers in front of the axle, 40".
Since I have the three and a half inch stainless works exhaust on there, they have a little bend to go from the y-pipe and move it over a little so you can run a center inlet center outlet muffler.
From the end of that bend to the exhaust hanger is about 30"
The first thing I did to this exhaust was cut off the resonator on the stock system because it was hideous hanging underneath the back there behind the rear tire. So I really don't want to put anything on that section of exhaust again if I don't have to but we will see what I figure out... Turns out 3.5 in piping isn't as common as three or four... Not as many options as I was hoping for. Looking at some Walker quiet flow stuff, or maybe even a combination of different style flowmasters... A little disappointed in not finding what I want in the sizes I would like.
The two different mufflers I've tried after getting rid of the factory one, have both had drone to some degree and I really want to avoid that. However the factory muffler with no resonator didn't sound any different to me in the car.
I had a set of flowmaster dbx mufflers on my subaru, and I have one on my little 1.8 l Chevy LUV and on the Subaru they were barely noticeably louder than stock and had zero rasp and sounded decent. And on my little truck almost the same deal. Very quiet and zero rasp.
So I was trying to find one of those to use as a resonator if nothing else, but I would have to go up to a 4-in and when I do that it's a 20 inch long muffler so that doesn't leave much room for something else in there.

Look on FB or CL for someone selling the stock exhaust from their diesel truck after they upgraded it. That's how I get 3.5" exhaust for DIRT CHEAP.

I barely noticed the slight difference when I deleted my resonator, too.

If you find a muffler setup that you like in volume and sound but has drone at a certain RPM, you can add a Helmholtz chamber to nix that drone. I have no drone with my setup. I think chambered mufflers are more susceptible to causing it.

I'm not too worried about the cheap part. I just want to try and make it as quiet and stock sounding as possible while still being able to flow quite a bit. Even though those don't really go hand in hand

Well, my focus was more on availability than cost. It could just be in my areas, but there are always kids buying diesels and the first thing they do is delete the muffler or slap on a 4" (or larger) aftermarket exhaust.

If you still have cats, then that 22" muffler will be about as quiet as stock (but have a better note) and will flow as much as you could possibly need, depending on how much boost you plan to throw on it. Worst case after boost, you step up to a straight-through muffler for a diesel.
