question

what size exaust comes on the truck 3.0 3.5 ?

I bought a cherry bomb vortex Part # 88105 but it is olny 3 inch in and out will this hurt my truck

i have no cat or muff and passe e test and dose not smoke but it dose make a lot of noise though

The exaust i have now is 3 or 3.5 inch to abought were the pasnger seat would be and switch up to 4 inch flex pipe and makes a bend up to the chrome stack along the pass side of cab and up 7 feet



The main reason for doing this is we have noise laws here in Ontario and I don't want a run in with MTO. I just want to bring the rumble down a bit. "i think it ecos in the pipe lots "

i would like to install wear it go up to 4inch flex pip "pics are coming"
Any thoughts from anybody?

i also have the a 3 in to 4 in addaptor so it gose back to 4 in after the muffler

The factory exhaust is a 3.0" down pipe to a 3.5" for the rest. So by the sounds of your thread you need a 3" inlet and a 4" outlet On your muffler or cherry bomb, you could also get an adapter for 3"-4" to go from you cherry bomb to your flex pipe. Hopfully i have that rite.

Don't know about gauges at Napa. What about jc whitney? Also don't know if I would want to reduce the size of stock exhaust, could create back pressure and higher egt,s

I agree I don't think that I would go any smaller.

I don't know how to put a link up but if you want guages talk to Clay at RiffRaff performance. He has good prices and has good customer service and a vendor on hear.

My head hurts from reading this...

Muffler... Make it fit... go to napa and buy some fittings and your done...

gauges... You cant order them on line but you can post on a on line forum???

Napa carrys Autometer sometimes, if not they can order anything you want.

Tire size... Run what ever size you can afford and fits.

Ugh.

Geezus guys give the guy a break. Maybe he doesn't have a credit card, which would mean he can't order stuff online.

ampslw you'll get better responses if you try to stick to a single question in each thread..and title threads with the information you are looking for. Also Clay at Riffraff is a wealth of information on a lot of things http://www.riffraffdiesel.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?

Sorry

Sorry for all the questions in one thread, I got a little excited because I finally found a place where I could get REAL anwers from other owners and not from someone who doesn't know hands-on about the 7.3 engine. When I first got the truck so many people warned me about the 7.3 motor, it made me kind of nervous and after reading MANY hours of different threads I now have a greater knowledge about my 7.3

Just wanted to say thanks.
