Car_Nut57 I did use the gasket and it still spins eventually. I haven't tried anything else yet but I may get under the truck this weekend and see if I can come up with something. It doesn't leak so I am not that concerned about it...

Thanks

I generally build my own exhaust, but from what I've heard, just call Rip, tell him what you want, and he'll help you figure out exactly what you need to get it!

Dodgezilla, one of my DCX Engineer buddies told me those clamps are a ONE TIME tighten only, unless you want to add a jam or lock nut, he stated after they are backed off one time to scrap them and get a new one.

The Diamond eye systems I sell have bolt on hangers I thought it actually made install easier more adjustable. I have heard of Downpipes leaking and hangers breaking off of brand x never had a single problem with Diamond eye.
I also have seen alot of post on Drone from brand x recently

Banks Monster Exhaust on my 03 is quieter overall than stock. Up into the 2000rpm range, it is somewhat louder than stock. If it is just too noisy, well, I recently Brown Breaded my truck, and found if I cover one of the two big flued vents along the back of the cab (they are behind the rear seats, under a real shameful piece of foam), the noise is cut. To compare, I used to run my stereo at 18-22 on the hwy. Now 14-16.

If you put the Jacobs exhaust brake on your truck, well, I ended up searching out a muffler shop to finish the job. That and the Monster Exhaust don't compliment each other.

I swapped the Jacobs for the Banks Brake. Although much quieter, it has much less braking force than the Jacobs (but my truck runs better with the Banks). The Jacobs is a 3" affair, the Banks is 4". I'm currently pondering using the Jacobs electronics with the Banks brake. The brake controller doesn't suit my tastes.
