The exhaust on my 2006 dodge diesel truck is about shot in the rear section and I have a 10% of coupon from Summite that expires on the 4th. Can anyone recommend a nice set-up. Should I go from the cat back or go the whole way. I live in Pa with no emissions tests needed if that matters. Thanks guys. 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27 Livin and lovin life one day at a time

That being said price out cat back. but if you got the money to burn replace with a HP exhaust and be done.

It only has 76000 miles on it so I guess the engine is still covered to 100,000 miles. 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27 Livin and lovin life one day at a time

It is 5 year/100,000 miles from the date the truck is put in service (sold new). Diamond Eye and MBRP make some nice stuff. I've installed quite a few of both kits and never had any issues.

Pretty cheap if you get a straight pipe system ($250), but they have kits w/ mufflers too ($320) if you want it to be quieter.

Tailpipe shot, muffler shot, pipe going into muffler disconnected completely. My son works at a scrap yard and he said the convertor on this truck are bringing in real nice money right now. Other than this the truck is in nice shape. 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27 Livin and lovin life one day at a time

Don't know if you did anything yet, but I was in the same boat- stock truck and just wanted a good replacement. I went with the 4" Dynomax. It's quiet, cheap, and seems like a well built system. Not car stuff- all heavy wall pipe and truck style clamps. IIRC it less than $300 and had a rebate from Walker. Been on a few years now and lasting well. 2014 Durango R/T 2004 Dodge Ram 3500 SRW SLT short quad Cummins 6 speed 1998 Dodge Durango SLT 5.2 1971 Plymouth Duster- <<<<<MOPAR SPOKEN HERE>>>>>

Less bends = better flow maybe a mile or two better mileage. Kevin I'm pretty sure in PA to pass inspection it must exit behind the rear wheel unless it was done from the factory in front. Most inspection places don't push that, but technically it shouldn't pass. 68 Road Runner, 69 Belvedere, 71 Challenger Vert 340 barracuda, 01 Ram CTD, 95 Ram, 04 Ram, 85 Daytona turbo Z 66 GTO, 06 Magnum RT AWD. 07 Ram CTD, 07 Ram

I towed my 24 foot race car trailer, quad, 70 Duster, and all other needed tools and supplies the one hour tow to Pittburge Raceway Park yesterday and with the exhaust broke off right be for the muffler my mileage went up 2 mpg. Very hilly tow and averaged 14.4 now with it broke. 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27 Livin and lovin life one day at a time

Get a nice system, and do a free spin kit like my Spyntec when your hubs go bad, and you'll get another 2 MPG! 2014 Durango R/T 2004 Dodge Ram 3500 SRW SLT short quad Cummins 6 speed 1998 Dodge Durango SLT 5.2 1971 Plymouth Duster- <<<<<MOPAR SPOKEN HERE>>>>>
