Starting with the performance goodies tomorrow in anticipation of a supercharger soon.
Ceramic coated JBA shorties, mandrel bends and Y to weld up a new mid pipe and a Magnaflow cat-back with 5" tips....all stainless.

 

Why not long tubes?

 

No tuning yet and long tubes throw codes...there's no workaround without tuning ability.
For what I plan to do this will be more than enough. I'm just gonna throw a cam in it and a Vortech with an air to water aftercooler on it and call it done.

 

No Maggie? Or does that also fall into the "no tuning" category?

 

Arrington Performance said they were working on it but I guess never came up with anything. That was my 1st choice....at this point I'll take whatever comes to market first.
Maybe later on when more stuff is actually available I'll dive in deeper....that 426 crate motor sure looks nice.

 

Awesome looking goodies. Keep us posted on how she comes out. That is going to be a quick truck. Looks great.

 

Got some pics...the video I did with my phone barely has any sound. Dunno what happened but I'll try again tomorrow.
Here's the headers all nice and shiny.


And just in case nobody has ever looked under a new Dodge truck...this is what lives there. Obviously this is how much of it I replaced.


New mid pipe welded out. I made the end of the Y a slip fit and used a band clamp...making the whole thing removable in about 10 minutes. I figure it'll come in handy for trans swaps. Yes, I got lazy and used the MIG...it was sitting there all set up and ready. lol


Passenger side looking across.


Driver side...



Slip fit Y for easy removal.


And a nice parting shot. I have to cut the tips off and move them, one was welded on crooked and they both stick out entirely too far.

 

Badass!!!
Tuning in for the vid clip!!


PS
Thanks again for the wrap, I'm just now getting around to it and installing it how you suggested. Taking my time with it to do it right and once it's all done I'll post up some pics of it. Just wanted to let you know I haven't forgotten about it!!

 

I stopped tonight and grabbed an 85mm throttle body from Moe's Performance. He's got a couple of 87's out for testing...if those go well I'll upgrade. The bigger the better when I get some boost in this thing.




I may have to start a thread in an actual performance section pretty soon. lol

 

just ask a mod to move it for ya Pretty much turned into a build thread already LOL
