Best after market exhaust?
« on: March 18, 2015, 08:28:04 PM »
Time to replace the exhaust on my 2005 Ram diesel.  Any recommendations?   Cat back?  Turbo back? 4" vs 5".  Any help appreciated.  Got to get it done before spring bear season.

The factory exhaust is good for about 500hp.  Unless you have plans on more than that I'd just do something similar to stock.

I have the banks monster 5" on my 04 GMC 2500 diesel. Not that loud at idle but it sounds really good when you get on it.

Ordered the MBRP SS 5" Cat back.  Hope it's as easy as it sounds.  Looks like I have a project for next weekend.

A lot of dodge guys like the Diamond Eye. Depending on what mods you have 4" is usually the best for our common rail trucks.

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

I have a Diamond Eye 5" on my '07 5.9 and love it!!! Low and deep and no annoying drone in the cab.  Not to mention it's one of the cheapest available.

yup!!
 actually a 4" exhaust is good for over 600 HP. at that level, the difference between a 4" and a 5" exhaust is actually only about 5 HP. hand calc's and also tested by the Ripster himself.

unless you start upgrading fueling AND the turbo, it's not worth doin muich to the exhaust excep a kitty delete.

my 2001 CTD with twins has a 4" exhaust. Primary turbo is a garrett GT42-02 with a 1.15A/R T4 turbine housing. It has a 4" outlet. The engine is currently making 635 RWHP.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I did this to my 06 Ram, still wasn't happy with the EGT's.  Went to AFE 5" SS Turbo back and haven't seen over 1200 degrees since.  Even towing a 10,000 lb trailer over the pass.
