Let's take a moment to appreciate how clean this truck is underneath

My old truck was an 05 2500. It has had a 5 inch straight pipe on it ever since July 4th weekend of 2006. I never thought the truck was loud. I only thought it was loud when I had the windows down, you definitely could hear that truck from a mile away. I love 5 inch Turbo back straight pipes on 6 Cylinder diesel engines, sound great on cats and Cummins. With the windows up, I could have the radio on and not even be turned up a lot and still here it just fine. Hell, the damn hvac fan was louder than the exhaust was. Lol

I was so close to doing the 5" straight pipe and man, I'm glad I didn't. I daily my truck so I put in an aerotubine resonator, cut the tailpipe off, added a tip, and left the cat. It made it more aggressive, but didn't become overbearing. Another thing that I'm glad you mentioned was the clamps. That's something you don't really think of at first. You cannot really beat the stock hanger setup

I did a 4” TBE axle dump…for about a week. 🤨 It drove me insane while commuting. I added a straight, flow through muffler and that removed the drone just enough, without killing that great 5.9 sound. Happy medium.

Can’t wait to see more of this truck man. Great vid as usual

You just earned a subscribe from me because of putting the exhaust side by side. Very well put together video. Keep it up bro

I was here when you had below 10k subs and I’m both happy to see your growth and not surprised by it at the same time. Awesome trucks and awesome videos bro

Been looking high and low for full exhaust kit for my rig and nre has the hook up! Man thank you so much for the linking it! Subbed too I wish my rig was as clean as your but she lived in the salt belt so I’m battling rust every year.

8:13 That wide pipe really brings out that classic 12v 5.9 sound. The most beautiful sound other than the 94 through 99 7.3s with a straight pipe. Love your videos and the quality of the videos. Along with your humble and knowledgable personality. Very cool channel.

man that thing sounds great! i love straight piped diesels with manuals

And I think the 6 speed makes a much better candidate for a 5” TBE. The sound is different. Much better. I may go back to a true TBE now that I’m out of CA. 🤔 Great build and great videos as always.

Super nice, loving it! Some Truks were made to be stealth, other like the Cummins were designed to breath and be herd!!!!! It's just the way it is.

Great wheel/ tire combo!

damn man your'e making me regret selling mine. awesome video! keep up the high quality content

What a clean ride

I love the sound! 🤤🤤

So jealous of your 3rd gens 🤤. I have a 5” straight pipe from FloPro and I have the same problem with the hangers. There’s only one on the downpipe and one near the axle. That being said I’ve ram my truck hard in the desert without any problems. Keep the videos coming

Sounds awesome

Awesome video! I had a 5” straight pipe like this on my 2005 Ram 2500, and I know what you mean about the mirrors shaking 😂 I did notice a big difference between an axle dump and the stock exit location. Without all of the resonance under the truck, it made it more bearable. I also noticed a difference in exhaust tip size changes the drone as well. A 6” tip was somewhat bearable, but a 7” tip made it drone much more.
