Dual exhaust or not? - 9/14/2004 10:53:33 PM    04hemi2500   Posts: 13 Joined: 8/31/2004 Status: offline i was thinking about getting a new exhaust on my '04 hemi but have heard that certain dual exhausts make you lose back pressure so you lose horsepower. is this true? i was thinking about duals from the cat. converter back with flowmasters. would this be alright and what kind of flowmasters should i get? will it add any hp if so how much and would it sound okay? thaynks a lot for any info. _____________________________ 2004 Dodge 3/4 ton Hemi quad cab Post #: 1

In that thread there are two different type of flowmasters (one being Flowmaster "American Thunder" with 50 series muffler from JEGS) the other is a 70 series muffler. _____________________________ 04 RAM QC SLT 4x4 Hemi Sport -70% Tinted front windows -Mopar Bed cover -Flowmaster 50 DO (American Thunder) -Remote starter w/alarm 04 Mustang GT Convertable (in reply to 04hemi2500) Post #: 2

Here is the sound byte. www.geocities.com/dheath_1999/ram.mp3 I had put on a glasspack t start with. but there was a BIG loss of midrange torgue, but when it spun it it ran. The flowmaster put back the torque and added a lil punch < Message edited by RamIt -- 9/21/2004 9:38:10 PM > _____________________________ KENWOOD: DDX-7017 DVD Monitor HU ALPINE: PKG-1000 10.2" Overhead DVD Monitor ALPINE Speakers: SPS-080A, SPS-170A, SPS-690A, MRV-M345, MRD-M605 TREO: SSi 12.44 http://members.cox.net/david.a.heath/ (in reply to 04hemi2500) Post #: 6
