long tube vs short tube ?

ramhunter9 · Jul 27, 2010

witch one is better for low end power and witch one for high end power ?

just thinking , to see whats available for my truck

Silverbullet08 · Jul 27, 2010

there is only jba shorties available for the 2500s

ramhunter9 · Jul 27, 2010

ok sooo high end or low end ?

AF_Hemi · Jul 27, 2010

Shorties - better than stock all the way around. Slighty better gains (percentage-wise) down low over high end

Longtubes - better than shorties all the way around. better gains on the high end (compared to its low end), but the low end gains are still much better than the low end gains of the shorties.

does that make sense?

ramhunter9 · Jul 27, 2010

ya so long tubes are the best but since im stuck with short tubes i have no options .lol

AF_Hemi · Jul 27, 2010

correct. unfortunately.

Silverbullet08 · Jul 27, 2010

jba will still wake it up they are just $$$

ramhunter9 · Jul 27, 2010

well im thinking of a new exhaust header back i dunno ?

AF_Hemi · Jul 27, 2010

if you're gonna keep the stock manifolds, i think you'll get the best bang for the buck by getting a free flowing y-pipe and then just catback.

Silverbullet08 · Jul 27, 2010

screw that. drop a crazy jay cam in that big bertha lol

ramhunter9 · Jul 27, 2010

i can do exhaust in my garage .... not a cam lol i need teach for that

Silverbullet08 · Jul 27, 2010

alright then i would just do the magnaflow y pipe

ramhunter9 · Jul 27, 2010

cheap and easy .. cool beans

Yeah I have only really seen one set of LT's for the 2500's and they were custom made for about $1500.

RH - Since you cant go with the LT's (which would be my first choice by far) I'd go with the JBA's, their numbers are very impressive for shorties and then get a new Y pipe and muffler. Catbacks just make things look pretty and cost an arm and a leg

AF_Hemi · Jul 27, 2010

^^ thats a great point. no reason to replace perfectly good exhaust pipe.

ramhunter9 · Jul 27, 2010

thanks truckin sounds good . i still want my exhaust dumped cause i think it sounds awesome

AF_Hemi · Jul 27, 2010

yeah dave that would be real easy to do. they sell turndown pieces you could weld or clamp on to the existing pipe. You could get a real nice sounding, free flowing exhaust for like $500-$600. so what are you waiting for?

for it to cool down its hot ..... im sweeting like a **** on dollar day

truckin151 · Jul 27, 2010

Nah dont point it right at the ground, that bounces the sound off the asphalt and back up at your truck and either muffles it because of the pavement or increases the drone because of the feed back from it bouncing back up at the truck. Need to angle it slightly away from your tires and spare so its not pointing right at the ground. It'll make it a bit louder and keep the drone down inside.

I love the dumped sound and look it gives your ride.
