Nice, Post a exhaust clip if you can. Im going to step it up to 4" after the ORY, then a 4" cutout, I dont have the e-cutout valve yet so I will have to open it manually, 4" Dmax exhaust and the 30" body magnaflow.

I dont know if I have any videos taken of the exhaust yet. Just have a fly by one with the cutout open, but its very quick.

I had multiple exhaust on my 2002 ECSB that I sold before I picked up this truck. You may remember my other log in name that I used, 1sik02.

Mines the blue POS after the cop car, flying at like 60 or so

so I got some measurements from my Dmax exhaust. Here is what I have

the measurements:
A-B= 16"
A-C=38"
A-D=49.5"
E-H=36"
F-G=30"
J-K=7"
J-L=32"
J-M=40"
A-M=127ish
The cutout is 10"
the 3-4 merge is 5.5"
I will have to cut about 1" off of A-B because of the flange.
The front pipe goes under the frame cross over. I would like to keep the exhaust as hidden as possible.

I have 4 options:
1: I can install everything like it that and run the 1 muffler.
2: try and fit a 14" body, 8" round, 20" overall magnaflow between the trans and tbar xmembers, there is just enough room, but am unsure if the front pipe will fit. I would have to cut it all the way to B.
3: I could buy about 4' of 4" tubing and run it strait like how smokeshow has it.
4: same thing with the 4" tubing and try and fit the smaller muffler in the same spot as earlier.

Any other options? What would yall do?

Yea, I've heard that its really loud with the 4" exhaust. Thats why Im thinking about trying to install the second muffler. Just not sure where it will fit. I may have to buy a smaller one.

I would start with the 30" and see how you like it. Worst case, you can put that 14" muffler like how I had it with the rear mount turbo. As the 4" bent over the axle, right after the bend I put that muffler there, so it was at about a 30 degree angle with the ground. And then I put a small piece of 4" off the muffler to exit it from under the bed. Would be a quick and easy way to add the extra muffler. I don't think I have any pics of it, but I could show you.

Ok, Thanks. The ORY and band clamps should be here on Monday. The o2 bung on Tuesday. I may be able to have it installed on Thursday. Would be nice.
Edit: Just went and looked at the rear pipe, Its about 13" from the top bend to the bottom bend. So it would be lower than the frame rails.

Default muffler change

will a muffler change demand a retune?
11 y.o. flowmaster has a broken baffle and accompanying rattle on startup.
also, any recommendations?

It wont "demand" a retune, But it might be beneficial. I like Magnaflow. Borla also makes nice mufflers.
