exhaust size

[custom 50]

hey guys i had post awhile back about my stock exhaust size every one was tellin me that its 2inch but i went and measured it several times then i cut it off went and bought a 2inch turn down and it still was loose i finally took it off and beat it in alittle and its on there for temporary but i was wonderin dose any one know where i can find a muffler that will fit directly into stock exhaust i mean it sounds good now just wanna put a little more back pressure i measured the exhaust and it was 1.75

You could get adaptors to match the exhaust pipe size to both a 2" muffler and the 1.75 pipes; or go to a reputable muffler shop and have a 2" set of pipes made and be done with it. 2" is fine for a 2.0, 2.25 for a 2.6. On my 1980 , I run a pacesetter header into 2.5 pipe to a free flow cat, 2.25 from there to a flowmaster that splits out to 2 2" pipes. Great sound and a good amount of backpressure to not lose low end torque. Also have a weber 32/36 carb jetted to match.

do you know where i can find adaptors? i think i only need one maybe two ive been lookin for them but havin a hard time finding them i was just gonna put an adaptor the muffler and then a turn down on for right now eventually i wanna put a whole new set up like yours

I have seen all different sizes at Advance Auto Parts. They have all of the different size U-bolts to match.

[l.k.]

yeah i just grabbed a few for the truck at work from advance. autozone had them also if im not mistaken

I grabbed a few at napa before. They always hid them in the back though. You can also buy long lengths and cut to size you need. Of course they aren't the one ones with the section you can overlap if you buy the long lengths. But they do have the assorted angles and straight pieces.

[l.k.]

any luck .....

i need to redo my exhaust, i threw my back pressure off. I had a bright idea one day, that I would create less resistance, so i gutted my CAT, now my truck seems to accelerate like crap, and sounds like a tin can is tumbling around under my truck now! Oh well, i wanted to redo the entire thing anyways, now i just have more of a reason too, i just wont tell my wife its my fault!... lol

[l.k.]

lmfao.....^^^^^^^^

Hey. Things break all the time. Lol. You could always toss a flow master on there or a glass pack instead of getting a new cat.

[l.k.]

flowmaster....i would upgrade if i was in need of a repair also.

[custom 50]

alright guys getting ready to put exhaust on but having a hard time deciding what muffler i want.........

[4doorciv]

Flow masters are great. Smaller the muffler, louder the tone. Cheap ones like rapters are another option. Tone sounds a lot different though. Borla is another option.

[custom 50]

i cant decide between a flowmaster 40 or 50 series can any one help me??

[DroppedMitsu]

I have the 40 series but it is just a tad to loud for my tastes, when I replace this one I'm going to get the 50 series.

[custom 50]

ok 50 series it is lol

[custom 50]

do you think you might be able to post a vid of your truck Ive been looking around and no one else has any vids of a ram50 or mighty max with flow-masters on them and i just wanna how its gonna sound before i put money into it

[DroppedMitsu]

I would but I just blew my head gasket so my truck is down until I get my 4g63t in it

[pennyman1]

I will take a short video of my 1980 with a 44 series single in/ dual out so you can hear what it sounds like with the weber, pacesetter header, and free flow cat. I think it sounds much more than a 4 cylinder, but you be the judge.

[custom 50]

ok let me know when its up thanks

[custom 50]

ever get around to takin that video?

[DroppedMitsu]

I just got my 4g63t running. Dont have the 40 series muffler hooked up yet still have to do it this weekend, but I'll try to get a video for you.

[pennyman1]

My video is on my gf's phone - will upload as soon as she sends it to me
