Yeah visibilty stinks when you have no back windows, but im getting use to the small round blind spot mirrors i put on, they help a ton.

I love the 80e in my van and how it shifts, would love to ride in a dmax with an 80e and see how it shifts/boogies down the road.

Now its time for you to completely ditch the exhaust and straight pipe all the out the back so you get that awesome turbo whine, especially at idle, The VVT turbos sound like jet planes, man they are awesome!!

Or you can make them sound like this real easy, its a nice position on my DSP5 switch. Its my " cam lope tune" lol, it lopes better in gear though.

 

TIM, I hate you. You've got such nice toys

Julien, you need to get tow mirrors on it. You're going to need them anyway to tow the camper you want. When properly adjusted you have no blind spot at all, plus you can watch your trailer tires too.

 

On my way back to LA with the trailer I kept telling myself I should get tow mirrors like the ones you have. Not sure how it would look with a van but can't look that bad. It's on my list of things to do...this list which was supposed to be small is getting longer...

 

Tim I love that lope! Sounds...industiral/commercial. Like it has no buisness being on a public road!!
Exhaust intake and tune is on the list. I'm assuming there's a big difference between 3", 4" or 5" exhaust, bigger is better no?

 

NO he didn't stop, you just couldn't hear him over the noise of that stupid engine....

 

Just like a gas turbo...anything after the turbine is a restriction, so the bigger the better.

 

Hmmm Multi quote is not working??.

Thanks Cody , just trying to keep up with you and the reast of the jones' hahaha!

 

Thanks Julien, it is def different, like i said sounds lopier in gear ( i'll get a vid)

I would def do a 4'' exhaust , from the down pipe back with cat or muff.

I had a 4'' on my truck, then bought a 5'', the 5'' was def throatier , but just a tad too much, i like the 4'' lots better, it sounds perfect , and you'll love the turbo whistle/flutter. I currently have an mbrp down pipe,4'' pipe to a 5'' stack , no cat no muff.

Remember pipe is pipe, dont pay big bucks for an exhaust kit, if summit makes one for your van, it will be cheaper than a MBRP or diamond eye, their truck kits are bout 100$ and fit great, i installed one on my buds Dmax.

 

Dsp5 ftw! Lol

 

Roger, figured as much. Thanks Richard


Speaking of trucks...when's the last time you had one?

So 5" is a little too throaty, I did notice that in the van since the engine is basically between me and the passenger seat that you hear the motor more but really don't hear anything in regards to the exhaust. I hear the valve chatter and piston slap (if that's what it is) and a little bit of turbo whine but not much else, especially nothing exhaust related. Anyways, because of how big of a PITA working on a van is I'm just gonna do it once and that's it, so if you say 4" is plenty(especially since I've no intention of maxing out this D-max) than I'll just stick to 4" DP and exhaust.

Also, since your running no cat and no muff what's the deal with emissions in these things? I'd rather do a cat and muff delete but don't want to have the headache come smog check time. I also plan on dumping the exhaust right before the passenger rear wheel.

Is that a chip?
