Well I am about to buy an exhaust system for my truck. (I know it's about time).


I am pretty much decided on MBRP. Should I go singles or Duals?

I don't want any drone in the cab. I don't mind a little bit of noise in the cab but I don't want it to be annoying. What are you experiences with the cool duals? I'm not too concerned about how loud it is outside.


Please specify what and why if you choose other.Edited by: Max Power

Also please let me know your opinion if you don't like duals. My problem with duals is that we all know that they are not true duals and are just for looks. I'm not sure if I can live with that. Borderline Ricers. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clown.gif Edited by: Max Power

One Turbo One Exhaust ....


Duals are like tips in my book "Fake" .....


Single who's ever you choose .... If your stuck on the Duals, Max, I'll go for a ride in Tony's truck this weekend and give you an Unbias opinion compared to a Banks with a 5" Tailpipe ....

Thanks Mackin, you and I think alike on the subject. I was beginning to think I was alone on this. My thoughts were that if everyone else sees nothing wrong with it, why not.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Geek.gif I'd sure like to ride in trucks with all these different exhausts but I do not have that luxury. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cry.gif

So does that mean the wife rides in the bed under the Retrax??????http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif

I've got the "cool duals" on my truck and they look sweet.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Rock On.gif When cruising around town, its got a little rumble, but nothing bad. When you get on the go pedal, she's got alot of authority, but still not loud in the cab(windows rolled up). Personal opinion is the duals are actually quieter in the cab than the single, but have more grunt from the exterior . My bud has the mbrp single and he agrees that mine is a bit quiter than his, but still nowhere near obnoxious like my old flo pro was http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Dead.gif Also spreads out the smoke so it doesn't look so bad, on the passengers side.......... now its the whole lane is blacked out http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif

Good to hear, I assumed the duals would be louder in the cab which is one more reason holding me back from the duals. Thanks.





Has anyone had both the MBRP and the Banks? I understand the banks is quite queit. Is the MBRP a lot louder? I am not so concerned about noise around town but rather on the highway with the cruise set when pulling. That is where I find a loud exhaust to be annoying. I do want some sound of 'authority' as HBC put it. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gifEdited by: Max Power

If you can hold off till Oct. i'll be up in Thunder Bay area....http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Embarrased.gif Thats as far as i'm driving though. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif

ATS looks pretty sweet I think. I removed the muffler on mine and straight piped it and it is a little annoying when towing. For cruising around I think it is perfect.


I would stay away from the duals, there's nothing better than seeing that (1) big exhaust tip and noing it's a diesel.

When you get a Tranny and Stacked and PCM Jacked it wont matter you have one pipe out back ... People will be bobbing braking and weaving to get out and away from your cloud ....


I'm so tailgaters free I feel like a Fire truck with a stay back 500 feet written on my tailgate !!!


Mac http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif

I have the MBRP duals and I love them. They just make the truck look great. My brother is an old time diesel guy and when I told him I was getting duals he thought I was crazy. He said the diesels should have ONE pipe! But after he saw and heard my duals he changed his mind. Even the diesel guys at the exhaust shop that installed it for me changed their opinion on duals after they worked on my truck.


The sound it just awesome. I also love the fact that I can smoke out both lanes if I want too!http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Evil Smile.gif

I'm not big on duals for the same reason as Mac...http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Dead.gif


What about spare tire clearance problems with the duals?


I boiled the options down to either ATS or Banks. I bought Banks since I got them to cut me quite a bit better deal and I like the tip better.


No drone at all, but it's CAT back...http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Ermm.gif

I prefer duals, dual stacks that is!http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif It would probably be a little too much drone for you. It is louder in the cab now than with my 4" exhaust, strait piped. It is so perfect for smokin anyone out behind ya. The smoke goes back into a V and down some, perfect for a good ol' smoke out. Ask grasshopper! Plus it just looks cool!http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Rock On.gif

I wanna be like Mac..... http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Rock On.gif

Yeah just like Zeeb said, What about spare tire clearance with the 4" duals? If anybody has pictures of there duals feel free to share them with us please. I'm not to keen on single exhaust even since it will be a diesel. I must have really wanted a diesel for a while because I have 5" 28 1/2 long exhaust tips on my Z71 right now. I know I Know. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif Also do they really put out that much heat to melt a trailer like Max said?

Depends on the trailer. A camper with plastic on the front might be a concern. I am not so sure heat would be an issue but I know for sure soot would be. Too much soot with your tail pipes straight out the back would be a recipe for a black trailer. I think you will find that is the reason most go out to the side instead of out the back.

I just wish I could see more pictures of the "cool duals" with like 5" tips or something or just setup bad*$$. I think 4" is to small to see peeking out from the truck, For me anymore it either has to be 5 or 6" peeking out from underneath. I think that's why them duals don't agree with me yet because I would need to have a bigger tip sticking out and not just a little 6 " long tip, more like 12" or more 5" or 6" tiphttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Rock On.gif

I don't think so Max Powerhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Disapprove.gif Haven't you ever wanted to have a totally different look to something.I haven't ever seen another vehicle with that big of dual exhaust, That's why I want to be different in that sort of thing. I don't think it looks bad, Don't really care what anybody else thinks. P.S Thank's for the picture HeartbeatCanada

Do you guys with the duals get alot of crap spatted on the tips all the time? Also can you easily hear the exhaust with the windows rolled down and radio slightly turned up?

Lighten up. I'm just teasing you. To each their own. If you like it, that's all that matters!

It really has not as much to do with the duals as to how much fuel is not being burnt. Basically, the more power you have the more soot you will have. A stock Duramax with duals should not smoke at all. Mackin's truck on the other hand.... well, we've all see the sooty pictures. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clap.gif


As for hearing the exhaust in the cab, most systems are designed to be as quiet in the cab as possible. If you want it loud in the cab you will likely want to look at straight pipes. Maybe you could weld the exhaust right to the frame for more noise. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif Relax, I'm just joking around again. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Hug.gif

Max,


I had a Banks 4" for about a year on my truck.........http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif



I just switched over to the MBRP Duals in T-304 ---- NO TIPS FOR NOW http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Embarrased.gif


Anyway,



The tone is completely different then the BANKS was.....is.......not louder just different. Mackin will give an unbiased accounting this weekend........but as Heartbeat said very quiet at idle and cruising, but when ya lean on the throttle you definitely hear some authority.


I find it different as I can hear the exhaust from the drivers side more so then the Banks as it exits on the passenger side.


It tucks under the truck very well...........

Nice pics Tony! Looks good my man, even though the duals is just one more pipe to install, the looks and sound are more then worth the work! Cool duals kick ass, and that is that!


DEREKEdited by: grasshopper

I tried installing the MBRP duals on my truck before I lifted it and could not make it fit. I had problems with running it on the passenger side. After I lifted the truck with new springs in the rear it fit fine. My truck was really small before the lift.

The single exhaust muffler is at least a third, maybe one half longer than the dual muffler. I ran the single exhaust for a couple of days without a muffler and could not stand the drone in the cab. With the single exhaust muffler it was quiet in the cab. The dual muffler is a little louder, but not objectionable. I am very happy with the duals!

Mark

Wow the vote for duals sure has shot up over night!

There are a LOT of performance cars and trucks that have duals but aren't true dual exaust. All the turbo car's ie. Grand National, Porsche and a few others look good with dual's even if they aren't true dual's.

Thttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clown.gifNYEdited by: GMC-2002-Dmax

the band clamps are a must. I'll definately go with those on my next exhaust.


-Chad-

Do the band clamps come with it? I assume not?

To blow all that black smoke and soot in the air and find it cool is a sign of immaturity IMHO and belongs strictly to the teenager age.
Unfortunately almost everything is possible in this big country, seems nobody cares about mother nature, the waste of our resources....(the future of our children...) anymore, what a pity!
I know that has nothing to do with single or dual exhaust. That said I am against cloning and faking (even exhaust pipes). Produces only more noise but not more power.

I would only consider duals with a twin turbo configuration all the way back on each side (but thats impossible right now...). My daughter surely loves the dual setup on her truck - but she is just 17....

Max,


The MBRP Kits all come with the standard "Muffler" type clamps.........


I had band clamps on my BANKS before I switched exhausts so naturally I wanted them again, JEG's has them pre-formed for the transitions with the step-down already in them.





http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/uploads/85Z_55530730.jpg


JEG's Part Number is #30735 - 4" pre-formed clamp.

Sorry I could not figure out how to post picture with text also. I love the look of the duals out the back, and enjoy the questioning look of other duramax drivers as they see it. They are very mild sounding. They were fabricated by a local muffler shop. The tips are stainless by Magnaflow. The truck is stock, so no soot problems etc.


Jay

Oh boy, Z71 Grizzly is going to be happy to see this! http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif


I see you havea an Everst 5er, do you not have an issues with soot on the front of your camper? What about heat? I would be concerned towing with this setup personally. Obviously it does not concern you, I'd love to hear your thoughts.Edited by: Max Power

I have towed my 5th wheel on several trips, and have not noticed any soot or anything on the trailer. Everything works great. The truck sure does a great job.


Jay

Do you have a power adder? Does your truck smoke or is it stock? I find even with my exhaust out the side that my 5er will get black especially when it rains. The rain makes the soot stick.

Do the band clamps come with it? I assume not?

How many will I need for singles and duals?

I ordered 5 clamps for the dual exhaust as mine has no flange adapter.


If you get the exhaust I do not know if it can come either way.......I got the no flange when I got mine.


Clamps are downpipe to intermediate, intermediate to muffler inlet, dual outlets and the rear pipe is 2 pieces on the drivers side over the rear axle.





http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/uploads/Over_axle_clamp.jpg





So I guess duals would be 5 and a single would be 3.......as it has no second tail pipe with a seam over the axle.


Unless a single pipe has the 4-bolt flange adapter then all you need is two........http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Confused.gif


Either way they are inexpensive for what you are getting........I got all 5 delivered and it was under $75.00 US.





Thttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clown.gifNYEdited by: GMC-2002-Dmax

After seeing Bluejay's truck I'm going to have to think about it and picture what each would look like. I'm leaning more towards the "cool duals" now because this new style has a different look with straight back duals. I don't know what was going through the guys head that has the blue Dmax that Mackin posted with like 6" tips with his "cool duals".

[GMC-2002-Dmax] are those mbrp's 409 or 304's

gearhead,


The system shown by Tony is t-304 bu tthe t-409 looks the same , it's even polished as well. The 409's shine won't last like the 304's but when it comes out of the box it has the same polish quality. the 304 has so much chromium and nickel it will stay polished it you keep it clean for a long time. Just like tips do that are made out of 304 stainless.


Mark @ DPPI

Max Power,


I can't speak for you, but I will always have dual in the future if for no other reason that to smoke out TWO ricers at the same time when you're on a 6 lane in town road. It's just too much fun and the looks you get even when you not smoking it priceless. Folks just don't expect to see two pipes on a diesel!!! Call me when you decide which you want and we'll get it shipped ASAP.


Mark @ DPPI

Z71 Grizzly,


Go to our web site and look we have pics of both singles and duals to look at.


Mark @ DPPI

Zeeb,


No problem with spare tire clearance unless you have replaced the spare with a REALLLLY big replacement etc.


Mark @ DPPI

thanks Mark, I will be calling You later.

Other than looks won't the aluminized last a long time. All that soot should keep it from rusting?

SaguaroKid,


Well actually the aluminized will last and do a good job depending on where you are from and the winters you will endure etc. The systems on a diesel will be the exact opposite of the system on a gasser as far as rust out goes. A gasser will rust from the inside due to water condensing etc. a diesel will rust from the outside in from enviromental corrosion etc.


The other side of the aluminized vs stainless coin is the cost of our MBRP aluminized vs the cost of T-409 stainless is so small that for most folks spending an extra $34.01 over aluminized to get stainless is well worth it.


Give us a call if you have any questions etc.


Mark @ DPPI
