im wanting to put either 6" or 5" mitres on my '02 but i dont know what i want....could anyone post some pics of their stacks. i was also wondering how loud the 6" will be over the 5" with the factory exhaust and is the bigger look worth the difference?

 

heres a pic of a 6" bull hauler on my 95. Its not installed yet but my friend has a 6" miter cut and you really cant hear until you open the back window.

 

I have 2 6" Mitres in my 97, cut flush to the cab, they give a good rumble...but they're plenty quiet most of the time. If you open the window it reverbs into the cab, so I rarely open the window.

 

Here you go. Mine's an 03 Ram 3500 and I originally had 4" stainless from turbo all the way back to the rear bumper and it wasn't too bad in the cab but I watched it very close when Johnney Law was close by.
Now I have the 4" 90 plumbed into the 6" cross tube and into the verticals and it was SO LOUD I had to put an aftermarket performance muff back on in order to enjoy the stereo!

Anyway, enjoy the pics. All TIG welded stainless.

 

Hard to tell the difference in the pics, but its 5 and 6" no change in sound from one to the other tho that i noticed.

5"




6"

 

At least on a 12 valve there is a difference in the tone of a 5" and 6" stack. I had dual 6" turnouts on my first gen and the difference in the tone to going to a 6" stack over the 5" was a deeper mellower, more "big truck" exhaust sound. Not any louder. Make the end of it ABOVE the cab, I dunno why people spend all that money on nice stacks then hide em behind the cab, plus it does make a difference inside the cab of the truck.

Im not sayin make em 5 feet tall, but a couple inches makes a huge difference.

 

I can hear the motor over the exhaust while cruising.
I can hardly hear them with the windows down. Mine sit at the first stake hole int he bed. That might be way. A LITTLE farther back than most peoples

 

nice job...I like that set-up

 

I don't have a pic of mine. I've got a 6" Bullhorn on mine, just coming straight up the bed.....didn't pull it over the the side. I think it's about a foot or a little more inside the side of the bed. Persoanally the single stack is the way to go!

 

I ike the stacks set flush with the cab. Heres my 6" miters.Had 5"s before and the 6's are noticably louder. I'm just running a resonater to tone them down some

 

Go with 6" miters. You'll be glad you did!
