Fabbed up a new exhaust system..... with NO muffler.... and here is the kicker... it is Quiet in the cab and &quot;ol blue&quot;...&quot;sounds like a 10L V-8 &quot;...... should be an interesting experiment.<br>Here's hoping it turns out well! 8)

 

Juice, what are the specifics of the exhaust system you &quot;fabbed up&quot;? 4&quot; all the way? What is the &quot;experiment&quot;? Is this system something new and different? <br><br>Like a 4&quot; down pipe and the rest 5&quot;? 3&quot; down pipe, 4&quot; to the resonator into a 5&quot; &quot;Y&quot; and 5&quot; to the two 6&quot; gold plated, curved tips exhausting on both sides of the spare tire? <br><br>Maybe a 4&quot; down pipe into a 5&quot; &quot;Y&quot;, 5&quot; chrome plated, over to both sides of the truck and back, using them as Nerf Bars, exhausting through 6&quot; powder coated, gold plated, clear coated, curved tips just in front of the rear tires? Now THAT would be an experiment!!! <br><br>What ever...if Rip did it it is a good job. Just don't leave us hangin' as to what was done!<br><br>Stan

So to amswer your question, it is new, just a little untested. i'll post some results as the info becomes available<br>

 

Hey Juice,<br>Thanks for the reply. Sounds like something a lot of wives especially, would go for. We like the noise - they don't like it in the cab.<br><br>Hope you didn't mind a little ribbing..........<br><br>Stan

I made a mock up... changed it until i got the sound decent then phoned rip.... as soon as he finishes i am sure to be the first to hear of the success (or dismal failure) of the experiment. on a side note,this setup will cost 2-10???? HP to run. it will be self scavenging (more efficient) at its new resonant frequency, but above or below that frequency it incur a slight HP penalty. However, until i hear from Rip, its all just some crazy numbers and a bit of theory.
