Quick question: What is the difference in sound, etc between muffler+resonator delete+ straight pipes and tips vs muff+reson delete and "dumps" like after/behind the cab?? Whats the difference, what do you recommend?? Thanks.

[@davenbennallie8593]

Very helpful. I believe my 2015 Ram 2500 is a turbo back. It’s straight pipe and I would like to go with a full 4” pipe instead of the 3” for better air flow.

[@andrewdrumm7171]

It’s called scavenging not back pressure! To increase your scavenging you install a smaller diameter pipe to increase velocity but then it’s not as free flowing but if you go to big then the exhaust slows down reducing the scavenging effect so you need to size your exhaust properly for the horsepower you are putting out!

[@Texasmule]

Actually it mostly depends on the collectors

[@dustinfrazier7236]

Correct. I have found on my factory 350 and 454 a true dual 2.5 inch exhaust with either no cats or high flow cats with a good muffler makes them very happy. Not too big and not too small.

[@josegonzalez8565]

I think I'm having issues because truck 2500 has the two pipes coming from the front of the truck then goes into the muffler but only one pipe come out of it. Does that sound right

[@jeremyjamm3131]

This is an entry level video for people who know little to nothing about exhaust. Using industry terms and technical jargon is going to get people leaving the video immediately. This video isn't for people learning science from Albert Einstein. This video is for people who are looking for the bill nye explanation.

[@stephenmiller5023]

Over 22 years ago now I bought a 304 series Complete 4” system for my LB-7 2002 GMC SIERRA. It STILL looks almost as new as the day I installed it in my driveway back then. It was $720 back then , when most of the non -stainless 4” systems were less than 1/2 that price, but I feel it was plenty worth it in the long run . The old “ you get what you pay for “ holds true in most cases. Plus it sounds killer . The company was “ Hog Industries” but they went out of business not long after I bought it , probably because of the price . Too bad……😕. Anyway enjoyed this video , thanks.

I build thermocouple I work with everything from iron, 304,310,316,330,446 to Inconel it will all rust. I recommend buying your muffler and tips and going to a custom shop to build the rest of your system it can be cheaper and like with my ram I wanted true duel with a x pipe

[@richardwebb371]

I'm picking up what your laying down. Especially when you said it could be less expensive. I'm wanting my truck to sound good but I have seen how much exhausts can be.... Just bought a 2023 silverado 5.3 RST Z71. DO A VIDEO PLEASE....

[@rotarolla1]

Back pressure is the atmosphere at sea level pushing down your exhaust system at 1 Bar or 14 PSI. If your engine can't overcome that problem with valving it will stop even though the intake uses the same pressure. Excellent video, the bubble analogy is perfect, I'm gonna use that in my brain from now on thankyou.

[@RaulGonzalez-fu1yb]

My 2021 Trail Boss has an exhaust flapper valve. What is the purpose of this, and is it needed? I wanted to just do a simple "budget" exhaust, replacing my stock muffler with a Borla ATAK, and not sure if that flapper needs to stay on or not.

[@mustangecoboosthpp3869]

Manufactures switched to 400 series stainless steel many years ago, Aluminized steel will also rust just like 400 series stainless steel will rust. Muffler shops use mild steel because most do not own the expensive equipment it takes to bend stainless steel pipes. If you really want the best exhaust Borla is the one you want, they use T304 stainless steel, that is the very best you can use for an exhaust and it is also the most expensive.

[@trentenanderson4234]

But Borla is soooo worth it. The quality and time they put into their product is hands down the best you will ever find. They literally make different exhaust, and exhaust notes for specific vehicles.

[@georgeanderson9957]

Inlet nipple rusted out on a Spintech and a Magnaflow, within a couple of years. Autozone turbo has lasted 6 years, still good. 2014 Silverado 5.3. Sounds great.

[@FDM33510]

My Chevy 2003 4.3 Astro had a pretty free flowing Thrush muffler on it, and although I am an 80's Kid, I just couldn't take the loudness any longer. I had a stock muffler put back on it, and the power increase was quite noticeable. So, I guess I was NEEDING some back pressure added back in? It ran fine before, but better now!

[@darkseid8899]

I like your video. 😮 what type of system do you think that would sound awesome in my car. I have a 2019 dodge charger daytona scat pack.

[@drewsfoodforest_tv]

What do you think of the cherry bomb exhaust ?

[@brandon1437]

I got an exhaust cutout a while ago. I love it

[@rayowens4355]

I have to disagree with you about header length. Long tube headers are generally much better for low end power. It has to do with the negative pressure wave traveling backwards up the header tube to the exhaust valve. When this wave arrives as the exhaust valve is opening it helps to pull the exhaust out of the cylinder and in turn pull the fresh intake charge in. The longer the primary tube = the longer for this negative wave to arrive at the exhaust valve and thus lower rpm.

[@brmk89]

The aluminized steel is already coated before the exhaust tube is made and yes it’s a tube it’s measured from the OD, not the ID like a pipe. And it’s nickel and cadmium with silica, also the stainless is manufactured the same way, it’s coated when the rolled steel is made.

[@maddmavic]

Ingot an 04 titan with a magnaflow cat back. It's got some miles. No leaks or holes but when cold. It makes a clap sound under load high rpm or when cold even lower rpm. What would cause it I don't believe any leaks or holes.

[@cruzrodriguez7551]

I have a Chevy Tahoe 2007 with a 5.3 I want to do a new exhaust with new headers what do you recommend

[@RosatiTrainingSystems]

So if I’m looking for better sound, a muffler delete would be a simplistic option with a good return? What are the long term cons for a muffler delete ? I would be doing this on a 22 Silverado 6.2

[@crazyDIYguy]

To paint the inside of exhaust... Install steel exhaust, start engine, feed continuous spray paint into intake. About 12 cans.👌

[@crazyDIYguy]

You can do this with regular house paint too, preferably latex. Don't worry the internal combustion and valve action will atomize the paint. Also there's the added benefit of increased compression from internal paint layers. (Funnel, brake booster, entire f*"kin gallon of house paint.)

Could you do a review video for 3rd gen v6 Tacoma with true duals? Awesome video great information!

[@joesindaddysinclair1217]

304 stainless can become slightly magnetic over time with high temperatures. I know this to be a fact from my experience from testing metals at scrap yards with a PMI (positive metal identfier) gun. I've tested hundreds of pieces of 304 that a magnet would stick to and the majority of this stainless come out of heat exchangers. Even 316 stainless would be magnetic sometimes depending on how hot it got but a magnet would just barely pull on the 316.

[@RC.56]

Good video, not building anything crazy just want an exhaust and intake for a 23 ram 1500 Limited. Isn’t it true that it makes no sense unless it has a tune? The manufacturer designed it a certain way, that changing these components could actually decrease performance. There’s more airflow with an intake and exhaust good for the engine without a tune? The airflow sensors are calibrated for certain amount of airflow, might not be worth doing anything.

[@modernbassheads5051]

If you don’t have a turbocharger in the vehicle don’t worry about shit like tunes 😂 especially on a slow ass ram 1500, get the exhaust and a high flow cold air intake (not K&N they’re trash) and focus on the sound , you ain’t seeing any performance benefits on a naturally aspirated motor. Once you get a diesel or something with a turbo is when tunes start becoming important

I've got a 08 sierra SLT with the 5.3... I usually have them cut the muffler off and run true duals from the front all the way back just leaving the converters on.. this time the guy had a really nice muffler which has a decent sound to it but not as deep as I'm used to.. it's still a true dual from from the front back but it's now run into a dual in dual out muffler!? Is that still considered true duals ? Is it hurting the flow like that ? Should I take it off and run like I usually do? I've never had a dual in dual out muffler. It has a nice drone to it but not as loud and I like a little pop and crackle with the deep sound of the way I always run it.. should I go back to the way I used to cuz this is hurting my flow or what? Any info from anyone would help.. thanks 🙏

[@JG-kv4oi]

A dual in / dual out muffler is best for performance as it throws both exhaust banks together and helps to balance mismatch in backpressure from bank to bank as your drivers side exhaust is longer than your passengers side. And it does mellow out the sound which you don't care for. 5.3s are hard to get a lot of sound out of with the 2 cat set up and especially the dreaded 4 cat set up.

[@bradleymckinney83]

@@JG-kv4oi makes sense now that u explained it to me.. thanks..! I have a 2000 Chevy z71 single cab long bed.. when I bought it , it already had true duals and the pipes were run at an angle out the side with the tips turned sideways making it look like they were cut off with the lines of the truck.. loved the way it sounds.. I haven't drove it in a week or 2 but crank it up and let it run about every couple days.. I can't remember which but when it does start to change tone and crackle just a little before changing gears one side does it before the other side.. if they were run out the back prob couldn't notice but def can with them run out the side.. doesn't bother me but I guess its the diff length of pipe u were talking about. Was hoping to run converters back just like it on the GMC but the GMC has em out the back.. they both have k&n intakes with edge CTS programmers. But now after hearing from u I think I'll just leave the GMC alone if u say it's better , and I can't def tell each pipe are on the same tune when listening to it.. don't hate it but I wished it sounded a little more like the 2000.
