4 inch stainless summit system

just did a 4 inch stainless summit racing system.

if any one has been looking at them- i would call it a real decent system.

however it is the only exhaust on these trucks i have ever installed so i have nothing to compare to.

no problems with install at all. everything fit perfectly with the exception of a couple dings on the ends from shipping i assume. i had to straighten a tad so the pipes would slip together

i replaced all clamps with 4 inch strap style clamps. strap clamps are purtty! and they make it easy to pull the muffin later and replace with a straight pipe. no rattles, no issues so far!
muffler kinda looks like a flowmaster.

i love it! engine seems to have really freed up/relaxed and so far, well over 2 MPG better!!! really lovin that!

awesome upgrade, well worth the 400.00 bucks.

Congrats. I'm still mulling over all my exhaust options as I let my play money accumulate (having just depleted it again with my in-tanks and fuel lift pump install).

i hear ya--it's a constant struggle for us--
we finally had to give up our "authority" and leased onto a company for the fuel breaks and fuel surcharges that i couldn't seem to get when we were on our own.
i pick up an extra 30 cents per mile just in fuel here...
of course rates this year are crap!
only thing saving us this year is logistics(pads,ramps,bars,etc)
