Exhaust

[vinnieTy]

My exhaust is shot and i been looking around to see if i could find a 3inch downpipe so i could do a complete 3inch exhaust system. I cant find a downpipe and the few people that can put one together I wouldnt trust my truck with, so i plan on just installing a muffler and rear pipe myself and call it a day. Truck is stock anyway so i dont know if installing a three inch downpipe is going to make a crazy difference. What exhaust are people using? Any one have any video of the sounds. I like the rumble sound but quiet when i am cruising not to irretate me.

thanks

Re: Exhaust

i have an ATR, they don't get sold anymore, but i really hate the sound off it inside the cab.

Re: Exhaust

You'd have to contact them to get pricing, but there are a couple vendors here who can build you a downpipe. IIRC Jeremy's truck went 8 mph faster in the quarter with just a 3" dp and the service puck removed, so yes there are gains to be had.

Re: Exhaust

Quick question! Would it hurt anything if I ran just straight pipe out of the cat? I live in a small town in OK. where no one :fuzz: cares if you have straight pipes. Also, how loud will this be, I cut them off the ol' crown vic with a 302 with just cats, and I think it sounds nice with just pipe running to the back. :hijack:

Jeff (alwayswantedone) informed me a while back at a hooters meet that there's a guy in Trenton NJ at Mufflex performance exhaust that has built 3inch dps for customers with our trucks for around $400 I believe but don't qoute me on that.. I was going to go this route but dumped the coin in other areas of the sy.. anyways this might be an option for you.

The shop is located at 2369 Nottingham way, Trenton, NJ 08619 and www.mufflex-performance.com

Some trucks can get away with having just the cat.. some trucks can get away with just having the muffler and no cat.. but most over boost badly which can and will kill your motor in time if your not careful when either or is removed/gutted without switching to an external wastegate or having the small stock gate ported.

It won't sound anything like your crownvic or any v8.. only plus would be more turbo spool whisle which can also be had by switching from the stock crossover tube to something small in lenght and bigger air filter.
