i plan on going down when i can fab up my flip and get some drop springs, that said i hope to do this during the winter months in fla...so i need to know if there is room on the passenger side of the truck to be able to run my exhaust out in front of my tire and use challenger tips to finish the look....i just need to know if the leafs will be in my way for the exhaust runs.....i hate to do this and then it be in the way and redo the exhaust i have a issue about every 6 mths that the d/s tip hanger comes un-welded....and i hate it....

I have the Gibson Super Truck exhaust tips, they exit on the side. Now, since you are going to lower it, not sure if that would affect clearance or not.

very similar tips but the chally tips are 6x2.5" and have 2.5" piping to weld too...

Gotcha, idk I am sure that there are lowered Ram specific forums out there you can post on. Or, check with your local exhaust shop.

this is in the lowered section....

Ya know now would be a good time too consider going thru the body panel. That would look awesome, rectangle , circles, maybe bologne cuts on an angle. Hmmm. It's not that hard a mod, course your gonna need another panel (in case you **** up.) But the first cut is the hardest.

how low are you going? I've lowered mine till the frame sits directly on the rear end (using flip kit plus the short lowering shackles) and my exhaust is ran in front of my rear tire and it was still at least an inch away from the leaf springs. here is a quick pic i just took of what it looks like on mine. sorry for the quality. It may not even be close to what you are talking about ha.

That is what I am going to do over the winter. TBE, on each side.

yes brandon thats very close to what im thinking....

MOPAR78 · Aug 25, 2010

Wow! I didn't realize how close the shackle was. I had to look at mine and I'm guessing you could go 7" to 8" max before trouble would soon follow...

now whats the diff if i run a new y vs. a x-pipe and true duals is it worth it on my 4.7l.....whats better and i know the y is most cost efficient....

Trupiano · Aug 25, 2010

X-pipe is suppose to scavenge the exhaust more. When choosing between a H or X-pipe, it all comes down to sound. If you like the deep hot rodding sound at idle stay with an H pipe. If you like the raspy racey sound go with an X-pipe. As others have experienced on this forum, the difference between the 2 are not much. You do gain some more power with an X pipe, but probably 2-5rwhp, not anything you will feel. Again, it all comes down to the sound you want. I went with an X-pipe, and Im totally happy with my performance/Sound. Not sure how it'll work on a 4.7, but Im sure it's about the same.

MOPAR78 · Aug 25, 2010

X is a tad bit better than H on a true dual set-up. However if you want to run true dual in front of both rears, H is the best way to accomplish it.

4/6 and my gibson supertruck cleared the leafs just fine. I had issues when changing my tires to 275/55/17's. The tips would scrape the ground during curbs and minor dips.

Bad Habit · Aug 25, 2010

when i do get new wheels they will be 22" kmc slides black of coarse and ill only do a 2/4 max drop on the truck so i think ill be good with what ever i decide to go with ...this wont be done for a few months im just trying to get what i want in my head, cause i think im just gonna go get it welded up again to sit where its at until i drop it then address it then but i need the parts for the exhaust before then so i have everything....and dan where your s/t exit?

kay9 · Aug 26, 2010

The catback exit's before the pass' tire. This was with 285/60/17 so it was good. Did not start contacting the ground until i went with the 275/55's

Bad Habit · Oct 1, 2010
