I have run a 5 inch straight for a couple of years. No issues. Just sounds great and it seemed to have decreased turbo spool up time! Just slightly.

That and do the fuel pump turn up. It really gave me some off the line power! Completely eliminates that nagging throttle delay the 8.3s I have driven all seem to have. And yeah it sounds great too!

Is there anyone offering a bolt up kit straight stack for a M923A2? I can't find a close fit here in Italy. All to big or small.

Here is an SS vendor with a straight pipe for our trucks: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showth...pipe-exhaust-system-for-your-truck&highlight= I haven't used one personally but it sure looks like a nice piece!

Awful pricy for a piece of pipe with 3 bends, a flange welded on, and a clamp.

It also has the correct bends for the heat cover to fit back in. I've seen one in person and it's a quality product.

For that price they should be stainless steel. They still would have a profit margin.

This is the 6" stack we made for my truck looks and sounds great!

After seeing this post I contacted the company that did the bending for us and we worked out a deal with them to lower our price so we could offer it to our customers at a lower price, so I hope the new price will help everyone out with getting all the HP out of your trucks with out breaking the bank. We are trying to look out the best we can for the people in this hobby and offering the best price we can.
Thank You

Will straight piping and turning up the fuel slightly cause any adverse affects? I was told by the guy am buying mine from tomorrow not to turn up the fuel too much because the tranny is the weak spot on these trucks. I am getting an M923A2 with a 2012 Red River rebuild and given the condition this truck is in, I wouldn't want to damage it. Any advice? Thanks!

 

[cumminsbandit]

Straight piping and turning up the fuel slightly should be fine. I wouldnt expect them to last long if its like mine in my video tho... Only a matter of time before its a real slushbox and sitting along the road somewhere. Thats where ill probably end up! lol. Then im putting a stick in it and shooting for big power! Trans seems solid yet tho, i have no faith in it.

 

[wheelspinner]

If you use the power to try and do burnouts with the truck from a standstill, it won't last long. IF you use the power for smooth acceleration and power for pulling hills and cruising, it will just be a much more responsive vehicle and last just fine. I LOVE the way my truck drives nice, but I am not entering it in truck pulls trying to break parts.....

I eliminated my muffler and built a 4" straight pipe yesterday.
I tried to keep it as "stock looking" as possible by reusing the original upper stack, painting it flat black and using the muffler shield.

The sound is fantastic (DEEP sound and the turbo whistle reminds me of my old whistler Deuce ) and what a great driveability improvement!

I cannot wait to turn the fuel screw.

Might you be interested in making a second one for a fee? I don't want to spend $265 to get a piece of pipe that probably costs about $50 from that online source.

 

[MO MV man]

I had the tubing available, mig welder ready to go and a free Sunday afternoon.
So dropping $320+ ($265 plus shipping) would have been foolish.....FOR ME.

BUT......for those who do not have all of that at their disposal? i.e. tubing, some bends (NOT "cheap"), possibly paying someone to weld and fab it.......?
Add all that up and the stack those guys offer isn't expensive for a bolt-in, no-brainer.

Sorry but I really wouldn't be interested in doing another.

I only turned the top screw out about 2 3/4 turns. Feels like twice the power it used to have. I'm happy with it. way more fun to drive!
