Exhaust Tip - 12" or 18"?
Wanted to find out if the 18" will fit on our trucks without hitting the first bend in the pipe and sticking out to far. I like the look of more tip without seeing that reduction to the oem pipe and I dont mind if it does stick out a couple more inches that stock (less soot). Does anyone have experience with this? If the 18 is too long than I will get the 12. Thanks.

I just measured and 18" will be fine. There looks to be plenty of room for a 24" tip!
Mine is 5" diameter and 12" long, and now that my truck is lifted a bit it looks small. I may go for a 6" diameter x 18" long tip soon.

Without welding it, whats the best way to keep it on there? I was thinking of using a band clamp or are the "pinch" clamps better? I'm not sure if the tip I'm looking at has a clamp with it so thats why I ask.

This one which I got from DPPI has a built in clamp. You really need to get it tight or it comes loose. Putting the impact wrench on it solved any problems with that. This tip is huge!!!!

I cut my stock pipe off and put a 5" x 18" on it, looks great I think!! I had a 12" on my 01, and I think the 18" looks much better. I actually had to cut slits on both sides so the clamp would draw tight. The stock pipe must not be full 4" at the point I clamped it.
Oh well, I won't need it much longer, I have stacks in the works!!

Tip
I just uploaded the pic's!! Just awaiting approval. I will post when they are approoved. I just ordered a Dual 5" system with the same tips. I am frothing at the mouth. I can't wait to get it and get it installed. Put for now 1 6" x 24 will work.

I had it on the SRW 03 too. On that truck I cut about 5" off the pipe and it fit just fine. You want it to stick out past the fender some to keep the soot down on the quarter panel....
