Maybe Im lucky and found a good bender over 30 years ago, I cant see why a person would not just get the muffler changed at a muffler shop? There is nothing wrong with the factory pipes, just change the muffler. They are under 200 installed.

Some people want dual exhaust. I see your point if they are planning in coming out only one side.

Is this a fact??? Seriously are the pipes going to the muffler the same as the ones being offered in the system? If so then I'm just buying the muffler

Most of my exhaust have been duals, my bender leaves one side adds muffler and runs the dual side. In the last few years with the exhaust already big enough on a stock engine you can y after the cats run a dual in and out muffler or two mufflers with two tail pipes. Still lots cheaper than a complete mail order exhaust.

The point is they are not leaving HP or gas mileage on the table anymore by exhaust flow. That's way there are so many cats and muffler and resonator. Your just gaining sound.

Fair enough. I wish i had a bender to make my own exhaust. I think im gonna leave stock piping change muffler to a 18" magnaflow and put on a nice dual tip

I did muffler delete for a while, didn't sound bad. I wanted quieter so I added back a muffler to just a bit over stock. The muffler delete cost me 40$, its a good place to start. most younger people thought that was still too quiet, you could always remove the resonator too. If that doesn't do it for you then put your magaflow on or flowmaster. Edited by KARNUT

I don't care for premade systems. I just go to a local shop in town that's great with exhaust. That way it's cheaper and they can do exactly what you want. I just had them take everything from the muffler back and put in a single in/dual out Super 44 and it sounds awesome.

A shop that can do exhaust will be able to do whatever you want. I had a shop take everything from the muffler back out and had a single in/dual out Super 44. I also have the tailpipes coming out one on each side behind each tire at 45°. So to do that you don't need a premade system. The parts and install was cheaper than just a premade system by itself.

Was it stainless steel pipe?

Not really sure, but I have black chrome tips and the muffler is also black. They only charged a little over $300 for everything and all joints are welded instead of just clamps.

Dual exhaust = 1980's

I said something like that in a post a few months ago and got SLAMMED by someone asking me if my Corvette had duals! :lol: Always something... :D Everyone has a right to their opinion. :thumbs:

For me dual exhaust and how I want it setup is from my OCD lol. Having just the one tailpipe was killing my OCD. I got to have 2 tailpipes and one on each side no matter if it's straight back or what. My old 98 actually came with true duals from the front to the back with just 1 muffler dual in/dual out.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.

      Ac not keeping up

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
