A straight piped cummins 5.9 is a sweet sound. Really nothing else quite like it
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I ran my 818 straight for about a day after I sold my muffler. dont do it unless you have to. it's loud. about 150db's if I had to guess. does nothing for performance either. have I have an egt.
Not only does it sound good, but it runs like a scalded ass ape too. 05 2500 2wd auto tranny with straight pipe with AEM intake, BullyDog Power Pup with Crazy Larry download, needless to say it would boil the hides off of it from a rolling start! Not much could hang with it, stupid fast.A straight piped cummins 5.9 is a sweet sound. Really nothing else quite like it
didn't drop any egt. didnt raise it either. same old 25,000lb slow truck.So did your EGT drop any? I didn't figure it would gain any performance, I mostly wanted to know if it hurt it any with no back pressure from a muffler or turbo?
LOL.....I think I would be completely happy with that truck if it had a different tranny, a Roadranger would be nice. My biggest beef is the RPM drop between gears, kinda sucks when your pulling a load up hill from a standing start at the base of a hill.didn't drop any egt. didnt raise it either. same old 25,000lb slow truck.
855 cubes is ALOT more than the puny 359 cubes the MoPar has. Mucho more noise!Everyones definition of loud is different......have any of you owned a Dodge 24V 5.9 cummins that was straight piped? I do and it sounds great (ofcourse it dumped at the rear of the truck....LOL), people outside hold their ears when I throw the coal to it though!
That is true!855 cubes is ALOT more than the puny 359 cubes the MoPar has. Mucho more noise!
See thats whats wacky.....my 818 is just the oposite, its fairly quiet, way quieter than a deuce. I can talk to the passenger if need be and my muffler is even rusted out some in the bottom.i cant hear anything in 813 with a stock exhaust its so loud
I kinda thought the same thing....I can always put a resonator on it if I wanted too.Ewww,that is sweet!!!!!even though I bet the Port pipe does't smoke any.Look how they T-ed off the main pipe.If your going to twin stack it then try to keep the pressure even in each pipe or you will have one stack smoking and one just sitting there for look....and will look goofy.As for straight pipes,I say go for it.Loud pipes saves lives.Louder is better to me.If push comes to shove,try one of those $20 weld in race mufflers(basically a ring with holes stamped in it that welds inside the stock pipe).No more than what those things actually are,they do change the note a substantial amount on a 2.3L I4 Dirt track motor.
DANG! anyone else notice the front duals!Here is a shot of an M813 with chrome pipes
