After 1 week of driving with this system, i have removed it and will be sending it back to summitracing.com The truck sounded excellent at first then became very loud and just unpleasant to deal with driving. for those looking into exhaust be very aware the system is extremely loud. The noise is unbearable if you plan on towing with your truck.

Thanks

For under $400 you cannot beat this exhaust. The install was very easy and all slipped together nicely. Truck idles like stock and smooth cruising. Sounds awesome when punched over 2500RPM. I would recomend this to anyone trying to decide what exhaust, and the 5inch looks awesome.

I was trying to find it at summitracing.com....what is the part number for that exhaust? What material? aluminized?

do you have a cat or muffler? how soon after the 4" elbow does your system go into the 5 in?

Pictures!

yeah, any pictures?

I am glad you like it, I agree, best $375 I ever spent.

Looking on Summitracing.com website is it the Summit Aluminized Diesel Exhaust Systems?

Specs: <TABLE class=appinfo cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD>Intermediate Pipe Diameter (in) 5</TD><TD></TD></TR><TR><TD>Tail Pipe Diameter (in) 5</TD><TD></TD></TR><TR><TD>Tip Diameter (in) 5</TD><TD></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

Can one of you snap a pic with the spare in place? Many of us would like to see the clearance

If Your Haulin A 285 Spare Under There Its Sure Going To Be Tight

I don't think a Geo Metro spare would fit with this hog):h

I dont get it! There is a freakin TON of room down there. What is the obstacle to having an exhaust AND a spare???????

Does The Summit Kit Come With A Muffler Delete Pipe?

IVE GOT THE BANKS 4" ON MINE AND A 285 UNDER THERE AND THERE ISNT A TON OF ROOM. KIT WENT IN FINE AND LOOKS GOOD, SO I DONT THINK ITS IN WRONG. IKNOW THERES NO WAY IN HELL I COULD GET A 305/75/17 OR SAME SIZE TIRE DIAM IN 16" TO FIT FACTORY RIM UNDER THERE WITH THIS EXHAUST SYSTEM AND THAT ONE IS 5" THE 305'S ARE WHAT THE TRUCK ROLLS ON NOW. IVE JUST LEFT THE 285 UNDER THERE CAUSE IM TOO LAZY TO TAKE IT DOWN,NOW THAT ITS USELES TO ME. DO I HAVE A WONKY EXHAUST KIT, OR AM I MISSIN SOMETHING HERE:o

Thanks for the response. I just looked around under there, I want a dual 4" that will clear a 34.5" spare and I see lots of room to do that, even using the existing hangar location. Now THAT would be a an aftermarket accomplishment, unless there is a pipe out there that will work now.

I Dont Understand Why I Have So Little Room? What Exhaust Do You Have At This Point Masterp2?

I have the stock exhaust. A lot of aftermarkets use the same hangar, but put the pipe on the spare side of the hangar post. Kills me.

Pipe On The Spare Side Of Hangar Post? Not Sure What Your Getting At.
With Stock Exhaust Of Cource You Will Have Tons Of Room, The Mandrell Bends In The Aftermarket Kits Must Not Be Even Close To Factory,because Space Is Now Limited

i run a H2 spare with my banks exhaust, no biggy

i had to cut my pipe and weld it back together at a different angle in order to clear the spare without touching it. i have a 285 under the truck and even after the cut and weld there is still only 1/2 in of clearance MAX

In this pic, you can see that the pipe is to the left of the hangar. Not sure why the exhaust can't be made to hang on the right of the hangar, like stock, there is a lot of room. Mandrel bending takes longer sweeps, but still...

ski good feedback on the banks, first I have heard a large spare going in an aftermarket. I assume you mean a 315?

Keep in mind, the exhaust could be made to fit many ways... I put it together where "I" wanted it and welded all the seams and made my own 1/2 inch hangers, welded also. There is ALOT of wiggle room with these systems...

I also do not have a spare... I am used to changing tires while on a rack in a heated shop with a 1/2 inch impact... No way I am changing a tire on the side of the road, in the cold, on my knees with a little jack and lugwrench, I'd rather walk):h

Is custom fabrication of a SS exhaust done? I would do a 5 into dual 4", that would allow a 315 spare. Just me.

Masterp2...now Im Pickin Up What Your Layin Down.....pic Is Worth A Thousand Words.
Max Payne...yea No Kidddin That Little Jack Scares Me..

Never mind that... Wooo Woooo! http://www.stylinconcepts.com/images/UploadedImages/GeneratedImages/1427-0-1.jpg

[ski good feedback on the banks, first I have heard a large spare going in an aftermarket. I assume you mean a 315?[/QUOTE]yes, 315/70R17. not a lot of room left but it works. if I can remember which thread, I posted a pic of this......

Thanks, and happy birthday!

thanks Michael

by the way, here is a quick pic of the spare by the exhaust pipe, a little to the side so it appears closer than it is (little over 1/2 inch)

ignore the surfce rust on the pipe !!!:eek:

Very good. I guess a dual and spare cannot be done, the driver shock is in the way.
