I should have done this years ago! I cant believe how good it sounds. Well worth the $335 I spent. Too bad it didnt make the ticking stop!!!!!

 

hehehe, another one bites the dust...I agree txwelder...5" might not be logical, but it sure does sound good and it'll flow more exhaust than we could ever give it...lol

 

why is it illogical? flows great, sounds better, no need to upgrade again in the future

 

What is that freaking ticking sound? Mine does that.

 

My ticking is a beast that I cannot find, search my posts and read about my ticking escapades.

I cant stop romping on this thing with the windows down just so I can hear it!

 

Regarding the ticking .. don't know if its back to haunt Dodge but my dad was an exec for Chrysler Canada for 15 years before retiring. He said that there were engine issues where the dip sticks were a little too long and that the crank would just touch the dip stick and create a ticking sound that nobody could ever diagnose. Something like that at least.

It couldn't hurt .. pull the dip stick out a couple inches and see if it still ticks. Just an off the wall guess that brought back a "ticking" conversation I had with him years ago.

I bought a 5" also .. now I really can't wait to get it installed.

 

It's not the first time DC has had dipstick issues. In the late 60's or early 70's there was a run of dipsticks on the 225 slant six that were too long, as were the replacements. Allot of them got eaten by the engines.

 

My ticking is only under a load at RPM so, kind of hard to diagnose from inside the truck while it is rolling. Thanks for the tip though.

 

Well if you do decide to attempt a diagnosis with those symptoms make sure you've got a video camera handy. That could get very interesting.

 

You could always just pull the dipstick completely and go for a quick spin.

 

So how much louder is a 5" vs a 4" system.

 

I'm not sure if it's any louder, but it sure is deeper. It has an awesome tone. I loved it! I had 5" before I put the stacks on.

 

I was driving to work this morning and a guy I work with who lives close by passed me. I got back in the lane next to him and he gave me some room to get a good run up past him so he could hear it. When we got to work he said it hurt him physically, it was that loud. Of course I was giving her the beans, not always that loud just driving around town.

 

hehehe, that's awesome...I passed a buddy on a motorcycle with my 12 valve and 5" doing the same thing...and got the same reply...gotta love it

 

Is that clip with your new turbo or with the stocker?
