All my stuff is in the cab hidden behind different things in the dash. Its a very clean looking setup. Run the power wire through the fire wall, there are a few openings you can pull it through, then up in to the dash and out under the panel at the bottom by the cig lighter.

^^ Been on the truck for over a year, How's it holding up??

 

[truckin151]

Holding up niceky, no carbon build up no issues with any connection problems. Remote is working fine. Had an issue right after I put it on and emailed raceland about it and got a whole new wiring harness, brain and remote shipped out to my door less than s week later free of charge.

We are talking 3 inch, right? not the 2.5?

 

[truckin151]

Mine is a 3".

Cool ordered, and mailed.Now the waiting game...........uh How about a line on those band clamps, anyone??

 

[rocket]

Well I got three band clamps, then took a look under neath, YIKES!! I can take it apart all right, Trouble is I'm gonna lose a support bar. I suppose I can rig something up. I'm gonna need a 4 ft section from summit. 18.95$ not too bad, the clamps ran me 22.26$ The E- Cut out was 154.67 shipped. From Utah. All in all I should have this one wrapped up in an afternoon. (famous last words) lol.
Question can I use one of those chain cutters for pipe, for a nice clean cut?? I think I can rent one if it will work. It's either that or a sawsall, or other implement of mass destruction....But I don't wanna stress the system anymore than I have too.

why are you going to lose a support bar?

I used a sawzall on mine......

sawzall

Return that 4' piece of pipe. You don't need it.

 

[rocket]

Yah, I'm not gonna need it, I'm replacing a retro fit piece from the american thunder set up. It should fit perfectly, right before the muffler and in front of the resontor, Instead of jury rigging a hanger, I decided to keep the resonator ,it doesn't offer any back pressure imo.

 

[truckin151]

Wait so you are putting the cutout before or after the resonator?

Wait so you are putting the cutout before or after the resonator?

Well yeah, after the resonator, ( the 1st one). And right before the muffler. I've confused other people before,with this, But It seems my truck came with 2 resonators One after the y pipe, and one tucked under the axle by the tail pipe. And yes I do still have both catylitic convertors after the exhaust manifolds. If I lose the resonator I'll need the afore mentioned 4 ft section.

 

[RubberFrog]

Most folks just cut out that little eggshaped resonater up front. It really kills the growl.

 

[truckin151]

Don't put it there. Put it after the y.before the resonator and muffler. He whole point of the cutout.is to.free.up he system, not keep the same restrictions.

 

[rocket]

I was told the 1st resonator does not restrict the exhaust. I thought the cut out mainly takes out all the built up back pressure there by allowing more horse power. The growl would be a side effect that most people get the cut out in the first place. Like I said their is a hanger on the afore mentioned resonator, so I either rig one up or just put in the e-cutout. I suppose I could always try it first then cut it out later........That 4 ft section woul make a cleaner look, not that any one would see.............fml.
