cannon question

I was looking at joining the cannon club and was wondering how much different a straight-pipe 5" is over a stock s-p exhaust? I know I'll love it ,but I would like to know. thanks

yea I have looked at that before, but it doesn't help me that much. I would need a real life test to tell. I was just wanting personal opinions

it works great, the turbo spools up much faster, I just posted the results of putting gauges in, one of the major reason for the gauges was I noticed that it became much, much easier to set the SES light after installing the 5" system on my truck. it sounds great too personally although I have to find someone else to drive it sometime so I can hear what it sounds like from outside the truck.

A buddy described me taking off from a red light as sounding like a Blackhawk at dustoff. A few mechanics I know say it sounds like a real truck now.

no problem..just make sure you get stove paint or grill paint it is rated for 1200*...your EGT's are hardly ever over that..keep us posted....

Yes i painted my system as well, and it's not rusting. However i heatwrapped the downpipe to the end of the downpipe and then painted there to the stacks. I herculiuned my bed, and the stack piping fit in with the black in the bed. Prevents rust too.

This is my personal favorite.
There is no replacement for displacement (pipe diameter in this case).
