I do too. There was a funny one about building a KOH buggy; I can't find it now.

more 5" exhaust showed up to trigger James, this time the 2nd most recommended muffler to quite a diesel, a Donaldson muffler. now i went with a shorter version though since i don't quite have the room, so 20" body vs the 44" most ppl get for a ram. this is an M090595 with 5" in and out.
straight thru design, but then you can see the baffle right smack in the middle. i guess if it's too quite i can just start drilling holes in that. ![]() the rear fenders are about 13" wide, and this can is 9" dia plus at least 1" off the bed side, so i'll still be at least 3" inside the fender lip with this side pipe. don't forget that i'm making the whole bed wider to get around the duals vs just wider fenders. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

while i've been plotting exhaust and ordering parts, i've also started to figure the trans tunnel. i think i'm going to commit to the bent plate vs rolled look.

I am not liking the direction of the exhaust so far, but the rest of the build is turning out sweet so I will trust the process.

i chose the 5" for the deeper tone that'll be less expected, and higher flow if/when i build this thing out. the resonator under the cab won't be seen, then the muffler side pipe will fit between the cab and the wheel house with the wheel house being wider. off the back of the muffler will be some kind 45 out and probably a "teardrop" style cut pipe for the tip. since the law requires a heat shield, i'll most likely just use a TI wrap. i'll wrap everything turbo to back of the cab anyways. a little ratty, a little street-rod, something different. plus having the muffler and resonator should keep things "quiet" but sound nice, especially with the tip at least 4ft behind the cab. as for black smoke on the fender, that's just proper rat ![]() so i got to talking to a buddy who also isn't thrilled with my side pipe, he was suggesting (demanding) a y-pipe and splitting the 5" into dual 3.5" pipes out the back. can't go under the axle b/c of the travel, and with the bags, shocks, cross member, WATTs link, and the giant 14b housing ... i just can't without some major re-engineering. best case probably would be to put 2 4" ID tubes thru the 3" shock cross member and reinforce it. from the mufflers under the cab a full 90 up and full 90 back to get over the suspension mount, then the Y, then thru the cross member holes outside the upper shock mounts, then full 90 dive straight down between the axle and WATTs, and another full 90 under it to go out wherever. physically possible, but shatty. |

For what its worth, side exit in front of the rear wheel started to destroy Hubble's aluminum wheel finish with his super duty. It might have been polish-able, but I don't think he ever got that far. Not sure if that could be an issue with the black wheels or not.
Can you set the axle at theoretical maximum bump height with tires installed and see how much clearance above the axle you have (could be just me but it appears that the axle would never bump that far with tires installed and the truck laid out on the frame)?

the axle tube is 1" above the bottom of the frame at full droop. going low and fitting a ton of big steel in a small space. ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by 6DoF; 03-25-2021 at 04:17 PM. |

Where does the axle sit in this picture? Is it actually that close to the bump position shown above?

Yep, you don't have much room.
Better just hood stack it. ![]()
