'01 Dodge Ram 2500 V10 Headers and 4" Exhaust

[@shawnedwards2700]

This V10 has low end rumble and high end rumble. At an idle rev you don't get a lot of the real sound. With a nice heavy load it's amazing.

[@shawnedwards2700]

@LuisFanGuy292 It definitely doesmt pull like one. Sound is a just a small majority of performance.

[@briangarza9045]

What size header bolts did you use in? Where did you get them?

[@android-ud2nf]

237k miles. That proves Chrysler did make good motors.

[@thirstquencher3203]

Wow for a second I thought I heard a diesel lol but that rev was quite amazing!! Would love to see a full 3 inch pipe from headers back and hear that without the catalytic converter 😉 Awesome truck 💪💪👏🏼👌

[@philllipyelle6593]

3” from 4” isn’t gonna change much, the drastic change will be with removing the cat. Gonna sound raspy and groan a lot.

[@ztwntyn8]

Cool deal. It sounds good! It will help more to have the larger pipe before the muffler because the muffler cools and air becomes more dense so then after the muffler you will see a smaller diameter pipe many times. Only like 1/8”-1/4” smaller.

[@MeandThe93]

Those old V10 motors from Dodge and Ford sound badass

[@pinseekergaming4760]

Ehhh there 460s suck.... Ford won the diesel competition. With their 7.3 l beast Dodge held king for gas with their big 8.0l V10!! Chevy was king in the small truck world. With their big 4.3 l V6! For Chevy S10 That makes Colorado's look like a toy.

[@rustyshackleford1656]

Strange how this engine sounds like a Cummins at idle but at high rpms sounds like a V6

[@mizar892]

I have a V6 Blazer, can confirm this truck revs just like it

[@Random_guy803]

True! I own one and I keep it quiet for that reason.

[@raymccormick5659]

I was told by a mechanic that the magnum V10 fires 2 cylinders at the same time and that is why it sounds like this. It does sounds like a V6 but it would crush a V8 all day.

[@thesixgunfighter288]

My brother though one of these sounded like a Cummins(sorry NOT Cummings) and I told him it was close but not it, it was a V10, and it was. Very close but distinct idle for the right ear.

[@jz5937]

Unique sound. She doesn’t sound like a Cummins in person to me. Got one the other day. Maybe a smooth diesel, but pleasing to the ear and not clattery. It sounds like a v10 to me. Unique. Like most v10’s sound. Closest thing to a similar sound heavy on the throttle I suppose is an inline 5.

The 8.0 litre V10 is the same engine that came in the first Gen Viper, but this one was detuend for commercial use. The V10 was replaced by the 6.4 liter Hemi engine in the late 2000s but there is a ram SRT-10 which has a 8.3 litre V10

Yo man, I hope you don't mind, but I'm gonna steal this setup. I have a question too, I have a 94 regular cab 2500 4x4, auto with the V10. I bought it off a friend. It has a 6" suspension lift with factory wheels. Needless to say it looks stupid. What do reccomend on wheel size set up?

[@shawnedwards2700]

I don't mind at all!😂 As for the wheel size you could go any size you want but I run the factory 16s. With a 6 inch lift 37 inch tires would look the best but 35s would perform better on the road and hill climbing. I'd stick to an All terrain or Mud Terrian. Highway tires spin way too easily.

[@depthperception200]

I currently own a 2000 ram 2500 v10 and an 07 fi50 5.8 triton and I can tell you triton motors are shit in every aspect of their engineering. Timing issues, no power period, hard to work on and ford trucks themselves in my opinion are worthless if you want to do anything you'd need a truck to do. I'm so disappointed in ford, I had such high hoped for that truck and one thing after another it keeps letting me down and leaving me regretting ever buying it. So much in fact I'd rather give it away than have to deal with doing all the shit it needs to have done just to make it salesworthy and leave me not feeling like a piece of shit for passing it on to the next guy. I drove the wheels off my Silverado with nearly 400,000 miles before the frame finally rusted through and broke right behind the front passenger wheel well and I had to scrap it. Still have the vortec and tranny on pallets waiting for a sweet Vega or something to come along that I can stuff it into seeing as it still ran like a raped ape. And my v10 dodge is the living definition of what an American made truck should be in almost every way. Don't by a ford truck man you'll regret it.

wen you took smog pump off did it change any thing i wanna get a procharger or super charger and that looks like a good spot to put a procharger

[@shawnedwards2700]

wild boy22 it didn't change a thing. I had to get a shorter 7 groove belt and rotate the tensioner which involves taking it off and using a small burr and drill to set where I wanted it to be. it was a little complicated but obviously possible. The smog pump has no wires connecting to it. Its a stand alone pump so no check engine lights or anything. the pulley on the tensioner had to be switched out from a smooth to a grooved one. the pulley is reverse threads to remove it. Once the tensioner is off you'll see a small nipple and place it sat in. make a new hole at the very top between the two read spaces and reinstall. the belt is AutoZone and part number is 6pk2565. email me if you need help. [e-mail]

[@mulletsmotors283]

Shawn Edwards ok thanks alot man

Steven Cash definitely good welds. not worth paying 600 for jba headers when quality is the same. power increase is very noticeable. so the stock ones do restrict a lot more than I realized.

[@98dodge360v8]

Do you have a link to these headers and how was the fit? My manifolds are leaking everywhere from when the cats were clogged.

[@marshallstreett7360]

What kind of headers do you have on this, if you could send a link to them that’d be great. Also what else should I get besides headers to get this awesome sound?

[@shawnedwards2700]

Marshall Streett They are SRS headers. Cost me a little over 200 off eBay. Intermediate pipe is stock 2.25 which now joins at a y pipe that makes it a single 3 inch out t9 the muffler. I have an Aero Turbine muffler 1 foot before the rear axle. After the muffler it's a 3 to 4 inch adapter then 4 inch straight pipe up and over the axle out the back passenger side to a 5 inch tip. Sorry don't have links. Hope that helps though.

[@aaronfugate8036]

How did you bypass the smog?

[@shawnedwards2700]

FugateHasCamo Just remove the entire thing. The entire smog pump. Then use a y pipe to delete the cats. Catalytic converters ruin the V10 anyway. Back pressure is not your friend. Get a shorter belt. A 102.3 inch Chevy belt. You can actually ask for that at a parts store. Remove the tensioner. There is a nipple on the back...you wanna find where it was inserted on the front of the engine. Now take a small burr and drill the bracket it used to be on. Not to deep. Take your time. 12 o clock is where it needs to be. Reinsert your nipple on the back of the tensioner into that new hole you made. At the very top (Between the two larger holes you will see they are about an inch wide). You don't need to be that wide on your new hole. Just enough for that nipple on the back of tensioner to go in between those. After that install your belt. Don't forget that the bolt for the tensioner is reverse threads. Now you have a shorter belt and less drag on the belt. Makes for quicker revs. Like taking of the a.c. pump.

[@shawnedwards2700]

The radiator is very efficient in size and flow. The OEM material is usually copper. I find that's only good for a heater core. Anyway I have no issues with Aluminum one I purchased at my local Advanced Auto Parts. With the proper 50/50 coolant and capacity along with a bottle of VP Racing coolant it'll never overheat. All things considered along with your coolant system not having any leaks at the head gasket or a failing water pump it'll never over heat.

Oh yeah you might have to go slightly bigger or smaller, like a half inch, depending on power steering pulley size. Mine isn't an oem setup. Trial and error but that should get you on your way.

What did you do about the four O2 Sensors?

[@shawnedwards2700]

HardCoreVG I still have my o2 sensors. Both of them. They are on the intermediate pipe. One on each. After the headers but before the Y Pipe. That's the way it came. You must be talking about a California edition V10.

[@HardCoreVG]

well, ignore what I just said, I double checked and I only have the intermediate pipe O2 sensors. I could have sworn I had CAT o2s. Few questions, do you know exactly what muffler you used, and where did you get the parts to make the intake. I've installed a second battery where you have your primary mounted so I cannot get a K&N kit, so it becomes a bit more difficult

[@shawnedwards2700]

HardCoreVG I use a 3 inch Aero Turbine Muffler. It uses reverse suction to help pull the exhaust out. it creates a vacuum at higher rpms. I ordered just a one off intake piping from eBay then a separate filter and heat shield. its all custom. I just have ideas and sometimes it works out and sometimes I go back and make it better.

[@HardCoreVG]

Do you know the exact muffler tho? I saw they had a mild and loud version. I would actually like to do this exhaust to my V10, as I actually like the sound

[@HardCoreVG]

Also, you went from two 3 inch pipes, to a single 3 inch pipe?

Why 4” it’s not a diesel so to much flow your killing power, and why a muffler you don’t want back pressure you want scavenging

[@shawnedwards2700]

I totally hear ya man. However my 4" starts right before the rear axle. So its more or less for a deeper sound and better look out the rear than the usual tiny pipe a gasser normally gets. My current setup is shorty headers manifold for all the torque I can get, then 2.5 inch till it y pipes. After the y pipe it becomes 3 inch to exactly scavenge both exhaust sides evenly. My muffler really isn't a muffler. The Aero Turbine is straight through design and creates a pulling force (vacuum) on my exhaust in the higher rpms helping it evacuate into the 4 inch right before the rear axle. It's BETTER than a diesel exhaust by far. Thanks for the criticism though.
