Im gonna get the vortex from Jason and i was trying to think of the best idea for a new tailpipe, like where to have it exit, and other things. I was curious what are the advantages and disadvantages for just doing a turn down right after the muffler. Will this make it any louder??

 

Just do stacks

 

It'll be a little louder.

 

Turndown is much louder than side exit. I did it because my pipe was all rusty and I wanted to use my new sawzall.

 

stock pipes are fine any bigger and you may lose some bottom end

 

I am a fan of side exit, slash cut tips- chrome of course

 

i go with the turndown.

 

i have read though that some people get exhaust fumes inside the truck, is this true or is it something to worry about??

 

If you drive with your rear window cracked like I do all the time a turn down will fill you up with fumes real quick. If you want a little more rumble do a side exit right in front of the rear tire. I would stay away from dumping your exhaust out from under the truck.. Anybody remember the exhaust fume and rear window thread?

 

so is this a yes? no? maybe so? BUMP

 

Weird... I have a very good sense of smell, and I've never smelled fumes in my truck before with my turndown pipe.

 

do you have any pics, of just your exhaust?? i couldn't really find a good one on your page.

 

i have a direct turndown under my bed. much better for clearance

 

There is a early 90's PU with stacks that drives around quite a bit here. I'll get a picture next time I see it

 

on my 22re i have 2.25in piping all the way back from the cat. I also had a 3 in tip, but it was vulnerable to trail damage, and kept getting hit by stuff and dented, then the hanger failed!! So I just got them to weld on a turndown after the muffler, and now it sounds good, not to loud, but def louder at low rpms!! I like it better with the turndown, plus it looks better!!

 

Seems to be really popular with the diesel performance/show trucks here. Would look and be so retarded on a 4cyl or 6cyl truck.
