Now i received a lot of hate on here for clapping along with true duals before i got a x pipe and dynomax bullets, but i’m happy to report the x pipe has been removed for good.  Absolutely hated it from day 1.  To anyone thinking about getting a x pipe heres the difference i noticed. Right off the bat much quieter, 0 clapping, and high pitch warm start. Overall it sounded like a v6. 0/10 stars would not recommend.  However if you are looking for fully functional mufflers that don’t limit too much sound i would highly recommend dynomax mini bullets.  Furthermore at the end of this week- I am getting some new tips. Definitely 8” and definitely short ones so they can be hidden in bumper.  Not sure if i want “iceman” or pinched tips welded inside 8” slash cut, or just rolled edge. Ive heard from different people say either one will be louder but the iceman ones should definitely clap more.  Give me some feedback or hate if you will, the hate only fuels me on.

It's you're truck, make it you're truck! And just ignore negative opinions.

 

When you say 8 inch tips, you're referring to the overall area/diameter?  

 

Something like this 😲

Haha yes!  The diameter 8”. They will be tucked up under the bumper mostly so only the edge will be visible. The pinched inside look like this.

Imo, that's exactly where you shouldn't do that... Unless you live on an acreage?

On my 91 Ram diesel I ran twin 2 1/4 pipes with 4 inch megaphones. It sounded like a big rig. On gas I preferred twin 2 1/4 straight duals with glass packs. I liked  the crackly fire cracker sound. Big pipes on gas with big tips sound deep. I’d give up a few horses for the crackle, pop. Pulling down a gear slowing down priceless.

Yea looking back should have definitely gone with thinner pipe. However it still pops alot backing off the gas.

Open long tube headers or GTFO.  You won't ever have to worry about tips again!

 

Honestly?  Its your truck.  Do whatever you want to it and don't ask or care what others think.  

 

Also, this is why I stick to simple cat back exhausts that are quality and sound great like my Corsa Sport or a Borla, MBRP, Magnaflow, etc.  No ghetto 8 inch tips, no hacking, welding, regrets, etc.

Regret when you just spent $$$ on a system you don't like and then do it all over again. Best practice is just weld a different muffler in imo

    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
