Has anyone had any experience with any aftermarket large diameter exhaust systems for a Dodge-Cummins? My "OEM / cheap muffler-shop stop gap measure" is begining to disintagrate! Not interested in fuel-turbo mods,just a decent flowing exhaust system.

I heard that with the Cummins the larger pipe really does not help that much. they say if you start adding turbo or injector mods then it is more a benifit. ....

If I were you, I would just take the truck to a muffler shop and have them make you a 4 or 5 inch exhaust. Probably cheaper than buying one off the internet. ....

Plots: I second that! My stop gap repair consisted of some 3" pipe bent at a local muffler shop. They kinked the bends so bad it might as well have been 2" pipe!! ....

I guess I am confused if you are going to replace the system with the larger 4" why wouldn't you use the SS? The price seem about the same. ....

Chief; I have not had to replace the system on my truck yet.
I thought maybe parts of it were stainless as I have so little rust on my system. Not much salt thrown around there.
As the system is not too tight in the frame and the longest piece in the stock system is about 4 ft I doubt there would be much problems fitting a new system. Not exactly tight tolerances on these. At least on my truck.
I am not sure of the utility of adding 1 inch when the header is 3 inch. With out the SS I would suspect the additional size would just increase chances of internal rot from trapped water vapour. ....
