Who's got one ??

How do you like it ??

I have a stock 3" straight shorty on mine right now. Sound pretty mean! Pretty loud shooting straight out the side of the truck though.

There is a pretty bad restriction at the 90 degree angle where the mechanic bent it too much. I need to fix that, so I'm going right now to put on a "hybrid" (stock 3" headpipe -> 7' of 4" straight into a 5" 90 degree bend -> 5" chrome tip.

Results should be interesting!

I was told by someone (who may not know what they are talking about) that having exhaust too short could be hard on the turbo because it can allow cold air to get to it too quickly.

what do you mean, the engine would have to spin backwards for so long to even get cold air to it that some deffinate damage would be done. Although when engines spin backwards its called dieseling, what would happen if a diesel spins backwards, does it gas?

Trust me, they don't know what they are talking about.
