Met my brother for lunch at a Subway the other day...I left right before him, and right as I got in my truck, a lifted DMax pulled in. As I was pulling out the parking lot, I got on it a bit for a laugh, since my brother was still walking to his truck. Later on, he told me that as the two guys from the DMax were walking by, one looked to the other and simply said 'ho-ly edited'.

 

Made your head swell three sizes didn't it? I had to get on it coming out of a parking lot and a couple of kids walking down the sidewalk heard the turbo screamin' and about broke their necks turning around.

 

It sure is fun. I've had people say "what the heck you got under that hood?"

 

I was leaving church wednesday night and did the same thing. The fire department must of had a meeting so some guys were talking outside the doors. Well one saw me pull in and must have told his buddies about it when he heard me start up. Well I pull out and he pointed at my truck and had this huge grin on his face. So I thought I would make it bigger. Pushed in th clutch and let my stacks do the talking. All the guys there got this huge grin!

Makes me proud to be s CTD owner with straight piped 6" Stacks

My truck isn't straight piped... yet. But I've still got a story almost like that.

Bout 3 months after gettin the truck my buddy and I are going to a mutual friend's college graduation. This is the first time he's ridden in the truck and he's lovin it. Well I decided I'd let him have a lil fun and drive the last 10 miles to the school after we fueled up. It was about 10:30 at night by the time we got to campus. The entrance to the dorm parking lot is a hill about 500 feet long with a ridiculous grade. So my buddy is just lettin the truck idle up the hill and about halfway up there are 5 or 6 morons walking in the middle of the road. Well they knew we were there but they wouldn't move so my buddy just STANDS on it! The truck let out this huge WOOOMPH and barked the turbo a lil; those kids scattered like rats! We parked the truck and sat there laughing for 20 minutes. Gotta love that Cummins!

 

I went to the livestock auction yesterday to sell some goats. I had a guy or two ask what year my truck was....it's the red I swear, just does something to that truck. Anyhow, I dropped the goats and we were gonna come back to watch/buy and needed to fill my girls bellies with food. So we hopped in and took off on the little country road, windows open and let that Cummins roar!! Yeah, it does something to your ball cap size when people start lookin' and asking about your truck.

 

Two stories that happened yesterday...

I was driving down my street and there was a dad walking with his kids...

I didn't stand on it, but they all put their hands over their ears

And I was driving down our "strip" last night and saw a few tuners parked out with their owners standing around talking...

I let it go to 2,800 in 3rd and let off with a nice bark... I heard a few of them yell out "Holy poop"

Gotta love 5 inches of sound amplification.

 

my 2 favorite throttle positions are very very slight, and to the floor. i love just putting around and hearing the turbo whistle through the pipe..although after i reattatched my tail pipe section i dont hear it as much. time to install a cutout under the truck. and of course WFO when the engine is just roaring. really wakes up those who cant seem to go the speed limit .

since ive installed my straight pipe, my windows are always down and the radio is either very low or turned off. now THATS real music there!

im addicted to the turbo whistle tho. ill go around all day makign little turbo noises

 

Well I know that my truck seems to really make all the college kids around here look. I also get quite a few hoots and hollers, lots of people taking photographs of my truck and the like.

I currently have a stock down pipe with the neck up to 4" under the cab then into a 6' 6" x 4" stack that goes outside of my bed... So needless to say there is plenty of straight echo chamber... Local Gestapo decided it was too loud though *need to see if Wisconsin considers a turbo a muffler*











Wonder what they'll think of dual 5' 6" x 5" stacks.......

 

I love having two 6" stacks and no muffler. It has pretty much made me a god in my town . I cant go anywhere without someone making a comment about them or i get "let me hear that thing".

The real head sweller was the other day. I was just riding down the road when i got a beep beep on the nextel and it was one of my buddys. He said man i was sitting in the parking lot and i heard you go by and i thought you were Rumburg's Dump Truck.

Now to explain there are two dump trucks that are in my town that are a rednecks dream. Both are 2006 kenworth T-800 quad axle trucks, with chrome everywhere and both have 2- 7" stacks. One truck has a 475hp C-15 cat twin turbo and the other one has a red top cummins i think. Needless to say they both are very very loud and they are the best sounding road tractors i have ever heard.

So to hear someone tell me they mistaked me for the dump trucks really made my day.

MAN I LOVE MY CUMMINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Put stacks on a 6.4 and not only would it sound not as good as a Cummins, but you could blow flames out of them at no additional cost!

 

gotta love the cummins.

I only got the 3" stock system / straight piped and there is always someone who says it sounds like a semi.

I cant wait till i get the 4" or 5" downpipe/back.

 

b.lee - I running the stock pipe straight-piped too. And I also look forward to the day running a 4" or 5" straight.

 

Well the biggest fan of my stack is my 2 year old daughter. The first time she saw it she asked "Daddy, whats dat?" pointing at the stack. I told her what it was and she says "Prrrreeeeetttttttttyyyy!"

Also any one can ask her what her moms car says and she will say "varoom" Ask her what daddy's truck say, she says "varoom, varoom, varoom", then tries to make the sound of the turbo letting off.

I get a kick out of it everytime she does it.

I love my straight pipes but I can't wait to get my tranny done so my actions can back up the sound. I had a Dakota keep up with me yesterday. My 315's really keep my power down. I won't chip until I do tranny.
