Which type of exhuast should I put on my 06 Dakota NiteRunner???

Flowmaster = overpriced chamber muffler...

Look into a straight through muffler, maybe an Aerochamber...

There was a test done on a Mustang, with all different types of mufflers on it, the flowmaster, surprisingly enough, was third to LAST in horsepower... last being no muffler... the Aerochamber was like third or fourth from the top of the list...

You CAN get a flowmaster, though, we won't stop you...

lol well how about price wise I know glasspacks are cheaper and also should i go in front of the rear wheel or behind?

Don't do glasspacks they sound crappy with all that extra backpressure. They are louder but I haven't heard too many that have a smooth sound to them

cherry bomb just came out with a complete set for our daks. might want to look into those. i had the dual catback on my fullsize and it was great. but what ever you decide, just buy the mufflers. then take the truck to an exhaust shop and let them bend and hang all the piping. it is cheaper then buying a kit for 500-700 dollars. my 3 inch single catback was 250.00 out the door. no sales tax because i paid in cash. i went with the imco set up. about the only out there at the time these trucks came out. go to www.grabthepower.com for set ups and sound clips

The Cherry Bomb Vortex mufflers sound awesome on the 4.7l. I had one on mine, single exit just in front of the rear wheel.

i just recently put a glasspack on mine. its a thrush and i love the way it sounds, its not too quiet and not too loud. i had both resonators and the muffler taken out and had the glasspack installed. i have the exhaust in the stock location with all the stock hangers and it exits in the stock location. i like it and for a total price of under 45 bucks it wasnt that bad. for me it was well worth it

if u wana go glasspack i would def go with cherry bomb i like the way it sounds alot

Frenchy...don't you have dual Flowmaster's? Are you a dissatisfied customer?

I have a Flow 40 on my 3.7 and it's OK...I'd like to sample some others though.

check the stickies and theres a clip of mine with the flowmaster 40 on it. i love it

i just recently put a glasspack on mine. its a thrush and i love the way it sounds

I had a thrush glasspack on my old Ford 351 V8 Econoline Van. It was cheap and it sounded really good. Smooth nice low rumble, and not too loud. I think you can get Thrush at Advance Auto Parts, sometimes they have them in stock at the store if not they can order them. I recommend them.

I like the sound of the magnaflows and gibsons... Borla sounds good too, but a bit pricey.

I've just put a flowmaster exhaust on my Dakota. Follow the link to see if you like it:

BTW its the 4.7 Non H/O

dont get borla or else i will hunt you down (in sand spring muhahaha) and slash your tires. i recommend a foldgers can, sounds great! see if they can get you some stacks as well. also i would get new tires and wheels, im thinkin some nice muddin tires and datons.... gold preferably, i wouldnt tint your windows (unless its mirrored) or get a tonneau cover, actually i would probably remove the bed and lower it as much as you can with those mud tires and datons. i would probably get some ghetto rice wing and mount it on the roof for added downforce.

Duals give you more horsepower, and single gives you better torque. I think that the glasspacks and cherry bombs sound too loud and eliminate alot of backpressure, so i went with the super 40 single out, it gives me much better towing and low end torque.

I just installed magnaflow with dual outlets on my 2008 and I love the sound. Seems like the truck is more responsive with this mod. than I expected compared to other exhaust systems I have done on other vehicles.

I just did a custom dual syetem with SLP Loudmouth resonators. They are nothing more than an empty tube that tunes the soundwaves.

I have a post about it over at another forum, DT.

Anyone need a Gibson headpipe, muffler, or Borla muffler for thier Dak?

Sorry Night_Runner ;)

hey man i havent been overthere on DT since i made a comment about the loudmouths! how do you like it? get a sound clip up there and ill head over!

and you can sell the borla to whoever you want, just not a dak night runner, capisce?

I have a flowmaster 40 series on my truck and I like the way it sounds. It all comes down to what you prefer.

I absolutely love the sound of my Gibson exhaust

Get the Flowmaster Force II, thats what I have...great on the ignition and revving and accelerating, but not loud when just cruising but when you need to get on it, its right there for you!!!!!
Gained me a bit more horsepower too

i really think it doesnt do anything as far as hp it just seems like it b/c of the noise yeah it does open of the exhaust but im startin to think exhaust doesnt do squat

yeah, I am going to have to say that exhaust does help... the laws of physics are with it.

But is it true that no muffler reduces horsepower but increases torque? Not really sure...what do you pros say?

I've got a Magnaflow; sounds great, but no change in hp.
I think you would have to open up the entire exhaust to duals to see any real performance gains.
Headers and true duals are probably the only mod that will increase performance and mpg!

Horsepower is a product of torque and rpm. YOU CANNOT INCREASE TORQUE WITHOUT INCREASING HP, ALSO.
The only way to increase hp without increasing torque is by raising rpm which exhaust mods won't do.

I have a 073.7l DAK looking to get exhaust done any recomendations for the mighty V6?

I just recently got an exhaust system done to my truck(3.7 V6) after lurking on this website for soo long. I ended up getting a Flowmaster 40 Series with 2.5" piping and a 3" tip. I like the way it sounds, and my truck feels more responsive than it did with the stock exhaust. Also, earlier today I purchased a K & N filter.
