Myoung84's 2014 Ram 1500 Outdoorman Build Thread

[myoung84]

I have the full Magnaflow dual exhaust kit for my Jeep and I love it. It sounds awesome and the fit and finish is top notch. I feel that it was worth the money considering what you get. However, I'm having a hard time justifying the price on the side exit kit. It's just a muffler, some short bent pipes, and some nice tips. There's hardly any piping involved. The price for the dual kit with 5" tips makes sense, but not the side exit exhaust.

If I had the dual exhaust bumper, I'd order the full Magnaflow kit with 5" tips in a heartbeat...

You can always fab up the dual exhaust
Its not even fabricating it to fit, all you are missing is 1 hanger and the bumper, which I am sure you can find one online.
That would look pretty badass on your truck too

 

[myoung84]

I've actually got all the hangers, I noticed that when I was installing my rear shocks. It's really just a matter of buying the bumper. I'm just not sure that what I want though. It seems like everyone has dual exhaust now. LOL

I like that dual side exit. I wish they had some installed pictures though.

I though of doing that with my truck, but the 2500 frame under the 4G body doesn't leave enough room between the bed / frame and it'd hand down ugly under the frame.

A buddy of mine had a similar Magnaflow exhaust on a 05 5.7L 1500 the look was cool but sounded off. Not a deep enough tone I guess

That's kind of what I'm worried about. That and drone. I know when I swapped my 14" Magnaflow dumped after the axle with my 24" Magnaflow dumped after the muffler, the drone became annoying. I put the tailpipe back on the drone disappeared. With a shorter muffler and minimal pipe after the muffler, I'm afraid I'll be in the same boat again.

I think as long as your have it exiting NOT under the truck (and facing outward, not into the ground) you won't drone.
Also, 2 smaller diameter pipes will not allow for drone to propagate like one larger pipe will.

Got the exhaust done on 7/25. I had a local shop install everything and I think it turned out great. They did a great job bending the pipes, it's tucked up close to the frame but doesn't touch anything. I really like the look and sound. It's mild but definitely not stock. Went with the Magnaflow 5x11x22 muffler and two 3.5" tips out the side. I pulled my little ATV trailer (2k lbs) the day I got it done and there is a tiny bit of drone when towing, but nothing annoying. Running empty I don't really hear it until I get into the throttle. This is exactly the sound I was going for. I wanted to get some more pics from underneath when it was still on the lift but I was BS'ing with the owner and it was already back on the ground before I got back outside. I did manage to get one though.

Morgan, that sounds real sweet!
Looks good as well

 

[WhiteExpress]

Looks great, sounds pretty good too.
I'd get under there and paint all those welds before it all goes to ****.

 

[myoung84]

I planned on painting the pipes up to the tips black to blend in and seal the welds from rusting. Now just need to find the time. Haha

I hear ya! Time isn't near as free as it used to be!

 

[myoung84]

Uh oh...

 

[fastNugly]

PD time?
LOL

 

[myoung84]

Yes sir! Just applied the glossier to the rear wheels. Still have to remove the fronts and get those knocked out (just doing two at a time)...

 

[myoung84]

Done! It's a damn close match to the Graphite paint...

Whats new with the truck?

 

[myoung84]

I need to update this thread! I've added 1.25" wheel spacers and a new bed cover since my last update. I'll get some new pics up tomorrow.

You work fast on your mods.... Lol

Didn't like the rollbak?

 

[myoung84]

I liked it but it doesn't seal up the best. Wasn't a big issue on the old truck with spray in liner but it makes a mess of the bedrug...
