One more thing I need to do is dump the exhaust right behind the passenger door... lol...

I was hoping to reuse my Magnaflow, its big and bulky and dual out. so instead I got a Thrush 24242

The ****box theme is real :driver:

But that front bumper tho ! :headbang: If I ever have spare cash there will be one on my truck. Its the only bumper for RAMs that dosent look like a High school shop metal project. Or some random dude with a welder in his garage :dogpile:

Imagine if I didnt take my ADHD meds :anitoof: wife pulled me out of the shop at 9 last night.... lol...
Yea que my wife… project will take me a couple hours. 4 hours later I’m still messing with something else and haven’t even done the project…
Wife “hey how much longer.”
Me “ what do you mean? I haven’t started yet”
Wife “What!!!? It’s been 4 hours”
me “what do you mean it’s been 4 hours? I just got out here 20 minutes ago.” Check the time and it’s been over 4 hours since I went out to start working…

Same here! And when i say that, im talking about when my dad cut the exhaust off our motorhome and put some cherry bombs on it…he would pick my brother and i up from school on friday early so we could get to the races on time…and he would be out in the parking lot rapping on it for all my buddies lmao. Same thing when pulling into the pits at the races. Theres just nothing else that sounds like a thrush cherry bomb lol.

Ah high school, my '66 Chevy C10 with a straight 6 had long tubes with true duals to glasspacks and side dumps. Man that thing sounded way faster than it actually was.

I just ordered one for mock up, I hope I can fit 2 and do true duals.
A big single 3.5" system will flow as well as a dual 2.5" will,and will out last a set of duals.Exhaust systems rust from the inside out,and a single keeps more heat in the pipe and will out live a dual system as it runs drier

I always thought "True Duals" was just to tell everyone you have "True duals" :bleh:
I know it is a racing thing but I feel like it isn't done for performance as much as it is to say that you did it. Which I can appreciate, don't get me wrong.
It probably sounds rowdy as all hell. I'm excited to see your outcome
