Areo Turbine 4040
Does anyone have the Areo Turbine 4040 muffler? I know that there was an extensive topic on the 4040L. And does a complete exhaust system (Cat back, 4") make much of a difference rather than just changing the pipe?
Cheers,
James

What year is your truck if it is a 04.5 and up no leave stock exhaust alone remove muffler install aeroturbine with a s pipe kit. Stock exhaust is stainless and 4 inch not mandrel bent but still 4 inch

Not true. When I dropped the cat on the floor of the shop, with a dyno before and after same day, maybe 45 minutes between 'em, I saw a 10whp gain, run after run.

We have a 4040 on the 2004 in our shop. It works well when placed as far forward inthe system as possible. The difference between the 4040 and 4040L is 4040L is 6" longer for the resonator that is built into it. The kits we make have enough pipe in them to go from the cat back or from the DP back.

My truck is an '04. What I was going to do was put the Aero Turbine where the cat is, take out the cat, and the stock muffler, and straight pipe it, Aero Turbine back. If I can, should I go even farther than where the cat is/was?
Car nut57, how does the 04 sound with the Aero Turbine?

Saint,
If your cat falls off, install that aeroturbine in the same place......you probably even have a bit more room to go even farther up the downpipe......even better! I would highly recommend the 4040L with this setup.......it has the resonator built in so you would more than likely be better off with this and a straight pipe set-up. I have the 4040L and there is no restriction......it basically a straight pipe in itself.

saint,
Just remember, placement is critical.....just like Car_nut57 stated, right underneath the passengers feet.....even forward of that would probably be even better. I believe you're really going to like the Aeroturbine, I certainly do.....I left my cat in place so the Aeroturbine is up close and personal with it.
If you don't have a sawzall at the ready, borrow one if possible.....will make the removal of the old pipe much, much simpler.

My buddy is a heavy duty mech in a small shop, so we have the whole thing at our disposal. I couldn't change my order, so the 4040 is what I get. Can't wait, one more week until I get all my new toys!!!
Here's a question that may be stupid, what exactly is 'drone'?
