One is single stack, the other splits as you propose.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

BAD DOG Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 :SMOKIE-LFT:It was actually quieter with 6" straight pipes than it was when I had it all in 5" wiith 2 resonator mufflers on it. I don't think backpressure is needed with them , I found it better without backpressue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said plenty of room. Are you going to replace the cab for the steering wheel arrangement or leave it as is? You sure went through a lot of work to convert it to go back. Whatever you need to do let me know.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
