the FTE is like 50% of the exhaust on the '55, with the tip right at the cab. you still can't hear the exhaust over the turbo and engine noises
Solid point on the second turbo

For being straight piped it actually isnt too bad now. But I am getting old and would rather not hear it

I wont own a emissions era diesel. When I did work on them, that is all I would fix. Hard to find decent diesels that old without a ton of miles or high price tag. I compromised on the high miles part
