I've got a Diamond Eye full 5" muffler delete system, it's perfect. Not too loud. On a crew 8' bed it sounds fine.

So I was sizing up the job of installing the downpipe. There is like no room to work! Should be a blast...

I run the hood stack by cops all the time. They look for a bit then turn away. So legality, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

5" is pretty slick when done right. Bill has it on his dually and it sounds fantastic and looks clean. It's when you add the 12" resonator at the end....

I built mine and have 135 bucks in it. Turn down before the rear axle. The inside of the tire and axle gets sooty, but so what? It's not a show truck.

All that being said I may do a full kit on my current build. Lol

Well if you say so. And Bill has one? Now I feel like an a-hole. I just always thought they were overkill and didn't really flow better than a 4", but what do I know? I run a 4".

Diamond Eye 5 inch stainless turbo back kit. Bought it from RiffRaff... I like it fine..<br/>Looks like you are going to have a very tight fit with that down pipe!

About to order my exhaust from Riff Raff diesel on Thursday or Friday, but I just have one question. Is the diesel catalytic converter worth anything? I hate to throw away perfectly good stock parts that someone in a state with emissions can use.

Its got to be worth something in Cali but the rest of the states I thought it. Post it on the parts wanted to see if any body will pay for it.

Our truck are emissions exempt, but the SD guys might have use for it. They have to pass visual inspection.

Exhaust kit finally got here. Ordered it from RiffRaff, took a while to get here since I live on the East Coast and it came from California. Stay tuned, after I get my truck inspected ill install it.
