What did you do to/with your second gen today?

[dapepper9]

The raptor is nothing like the FM40? Look into the ****** aerochamber. Awesome muffler. What are you looking for that the FM50 isn't giving you?

This video is what I was going off lol. Not a big fan of the aerochamber. I'm pretty picky lol

 

[Dodge96Ram]

Not my cup of tea. How about this one?

Flowtech is still better than straights IMO, I liked the fact that its only $25 tho or $30 at my local Oreillys where itll only take a day, not out much if I don't like it plus I can post a vid in the sticky and on Youtube for when people ask about exhaust in the future

That's my 5.9L Grand Cherokee. I love the ****** muffler. Here's my 5.2L Ram with a performance curve FM knockoff muffler. Single in dual out. Cold start on a 40* night right after I installed it.

Dunno bout that. At least straights have some depth to them.

 

[dapepper9]

unless the engines built straights are ****** IMO, I hate that cackle

 

[dodge dude94]

I don't like the crackle either.


Turbo FTW!

 

[Dodge96Ram]

Straights suck. Sound terrible and hurt performance due to lack of back pressure. There isn't an engine in the world that doesn't benefit from back pressure. Not to mention guys just cut out the OEM exhaust and bolt up 2 sections of pipe with out having a clue how to properly engineer an exhaust system. Just like guys think removing cats adds horsepower. If it's no good, sure of course it helps. If it's functioning properly, a cat is worth 1-2 HP No one's butt dyno is that good.

 

[dodge dude94]

2.25 with H-pipe FTW!

 

[Dodge96Ram]

2.25 on a 440 is a bit small IMO. Million dollar question, how did you determine where to put the H pipe?

 

[dodge dude94]

*400.


You put it was close to the engine as possible, and since I wanted to run the pipes away from the trans. pan, that was where it was put.

Drove to Wrench a Part and got another throttle body to mod for $24. Threw another coat of VHT epoxy paint on my bumper and started working on bumper cover. I don't expect a professional job, but hopefully it'll look better than it did. Sanding by hand is a real pain, body work ain't my bag. Lol! I've started painting and expect it to be "as is" and done by the end of the day. Bar any trapped bugs, hopefully I won't have to do any additional touch ups.

^If you're gonna mod a throttle body, make sure you take pictures and make a thread. I'm seriously considering doing a throttle body myself.

 

[kpd12]

^ will do sir! Of course you may wanna follow someone that knows what the heck they are doing....

lol Anyone is better than no one. I've seen a couple DIY TB mods but they've involved taking it to the machine shop to get it bored out.

 

[dodge dude94]

Changed the oil, emptied the catch can, topped off and coolant and washer fluid.

Truck has an extra long Wix 51515 filter with 5.5 qts of Rotella T6 5W40 synthetic in it now.

A little pissed... Been laying paint on the bumper cover all afternoon and after putting a couple coats of clear it begin hazing and now is rough as crap to the touch... It looks like garbage... Oh well guess that's the way it'll look when I put it back on I guess.....

No, you wet sand it down and start over again. I had the same problem when I was doing the tailgate on the 76, I think there was some oil or some other contaminant on the surface when I started spraying.

Cranked it up only to hear a loud ticking in one of my heads... Great
