Stock truck, ordered Diablo Intune with Hemi Fever tune

[Ramguy65]

I was thinking the 14 inch Magnaflows. Local guy here will build, install any exhaust at his shop. Thinking of starting by adding 3 inch, X pipe, cutting out resonators, hi flow cats- not sure if Hemi fever can do cat sensor delete in my tune- and running out of the stock tips. You experienced no losses on bottom end with your set up? I'm not sure if this motor needs backpressure in the exhaust. But, I'm bout to find out!! LOL!

I had 14" Magnaflow on my 09. Just the muffler swap and loved the sound. The true duals with the 18" is just as loud and a little deeper. I didn't lose any bottom end power. Not that I could tell anyway. Had a custom muffler shop do mine. My Magnaflow has the True X perforated core built in. I am thinking of going the high flow cat route myself. Not sure if Hemi Fever can do the cat sensor delete. Would be good to know though.

^^^ Sounds like a solid plan! Are you gonna do any suspension mods cajunhemi??

I think HF can do the cat sensor delete, didn't Lhemi just go through that??

Almost pulled the trigger on the 2/4 Belltech instead of the Diablo. BUT, I am gonna need some 22's on it as soon as I drop it. Thinking SRT, or late model R/T takeoffs would be the most sensible route. You know how it goes, can't do just one thing at a time! I'm an impatient *******!

I don't think you are impatient, I just think you want everything RIGHT NOW! Haha!

I did the BT kit this month with other goodies, these are my parts:

I could be doing it wrong, I prefer my X pipe right after cats, maybe 24"-36" from where my long tube collectors will soon be.

How much diameter increase on the new swaybars? Of course, I'm eyeballing that same setup. Good thinking!

 

[DavidRam]

I didn't check. My truck only had the front, not the rear. Noticeable difference in cornering though. And the Hellwigs are some heavy/strong mofos

I don't think it matters too much where the X pipe goes. When they made my pipes they crossed them after the cats. The guy said that helps. Something to do with balancing it out. Don't know a lot about exhaust but sounded good. Lol. But he said there are a few different ways to do this. X pipe being one of them. He said he preferred doing it the way he did mine.

Cool! I'm looking to balance the exhaust gases as they enter the X pipe. The V 8 firing order does not allow gases to flow in a linear fashion. I'm not an exhaust shop owner, nor an engineer, I did sleep in a Holiday Inn last night! LOL!

So...did you get the exhaust done? My exhaust guy said that the truck would run better without an x pipe? Not sure why, so I left it out. I like the true duals with 14" MF bullets on each side and 12" tips, but I did lose a little on the bottom end. Not enough to really care about, but it is there. Truck will still smoke these 305 50 20 sport tires though and would spin the stock Goodyears through the first two gears with the occasional third chirp at 80 mph. You want to go fast with mods??? Start with losing the slippery Wranglers. Best go fast mod IMO. Took me from a dead even run with my buddies 2013 to me grabbing 1-2 lengths out of the hole on him
