While searching eBay for exhaust systems to see what's available and at what cost I ran across an old name in exhaust - Jardine. The URL for the Dodge diesel truck exhaust is http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Dodge...QQcmdZViewItem

I talked to one of their install techs about their systems and from what he told me it sounds like they have pretty good stuff. However, I've not seen or read anywhere on DTR or elsewhere of anyone using a Jardine system on their CTD. So, my question is this - has anyone installed one on their Dodge, and if so, what did you think of it?

Thanks,
Steve

 

I have their 4" system on my 2002 and love it. I live in the same county, so drove up and had it installed. Their systems are good quality and priced right. I was concerned about the drone some report with many brands of 4" systems, so decided to have 2 straight through mufflers installed to insure I wouldn't have that problem. The result is a quiet, deep sounding sytem with no drone. A single muffler system might have made me just as happy.

I kinda doubt it. I have the standard, out-of-the-box Jardine system with the single 4" Magnaflow muffler. It drones....

I have one on my truck. Sounds great! It's been on for quite a few years with New England winters and rusting is very, very minimal. It looks like it'll last many more years. I don't have any drone and am running just the muffler. Mine came with a chrome flair tip which still look good.

 

Your regular cab system is shorter than my quad cab system. That may be one explanation of why yours doesn't drone and mine does.

I have the 4" with Magnaflow straight through muffler, and it does not drone. I like it! I bought it in 2002 and I paid 425.00.

 

I've got a Jardine with the magnaflow muffler on my QC, no drone at all.
Course, maybe it's because I read somewhere to put the muffler closest to the downpipe, then the straight length BEHIND it.
Took about 1.5 hours to take old off, and put new on w/fit up.

Hey Rockyhud, I'm up in Briargate- PM me if you want to look at it.

 

That could be it since my muffler is in the "stock" location back by the rear axle.

I have one on a 2001.5 Quad Cab does the job and no drone.

 

Thanks all for your feedback. From the responses in general it sounds like the Jardine systems are pretty decent after all. As soon as I get a couple of paychecks under my belt (starting a new job very soon) I'll be ordering one of these. I'll post again after it's installed to update the forum on my impressions.

I have had one since 01 and it is a good unit, install was easy and no drone, I went to Jardines place uo by Dubois and he made it for me on the spot, he is quite a charicter to say the least, I have since gone to stacks but still use the downpipe and muff.
