with all the things i want to do to my truck, i EVENTUALLY want to upgrade to twins..(who doesn't??)

currently my truck is exactly as my sig indicates. i am getting a new dd clutch this month and hopefully a new exhaust brake.

for the exhaust brake i as leaning towards the new pacbrake or bd units. as for the twins, i do not even know where i want to begin with them as they are still a far ways out....

would my choice of exhaust brake limit the choices i will have when it comes to picking a twin setup?

i don't know much about either of this stuff, but i don't want to pick an exhaust brake only to find out it will get in the way of installing twins. i heard bd may be the only option as they have a different mounting location????? i dunno.......


i would like to someday end up with 700 streetable hp, and i would like everything i purchase to be able to work with whatever i have already done to the truck. so i don't have to spend money over again trying to fix the msitakes.

id get an iline 5" or a inline 4" brake. I have a BD turbo mount but once i upgrade to twins, ill have to buy a new brake as i cant use mine again since its a turbo mount. But i like my BD brake alot. Its not working right now since i think i washed and blew the fuse but not 100% yet

 

that's what i don't want to run into. buying something that won't work for me later down the road.

so are you saying i can use any brake i want as long as i use a non-turbo mount?

Ya. It depends on what twins you go with in the end, but id just buy a 5" inline and upgrade your exhaust. at least then you wont have to worry if ever upgrade to twins or large single or what ever suits ur needs.

 

PAC Inline is the only one that will work with twins from what i have found. I have the factory mopar and wish i had the inline so i could do twins

 

I have the PacBrake, excellent product. It was easy to install, good instructions, works flawlessly every time.

If I was thinking twins down the road I would get the in-line model. Probably the only question between the 4" or the 5" would be related to whether you plan on going larger than the 4" stock exhaust in your down-line plans. From all that I have read regarding brake use with twins, the PacBrake seems to be the better choice. Also from all that I have read, going larger than the 4" stock diameter really benefits nothing, no signifigant gains, better to go to 4" duals for a better, smoother outflow.
