What do you use and how does it work on your truck? Duals or single?
This is my first diesel and it's due at the dealership pretty soon. Not too knowledgeable and relying on the experience of some of you guys. Help a brutha out.
I'm kinda leaning toward the Banks exhaust, but am learning that MBRP is good too.

I plan on slapping a power programmer in it, so I figured a good aftermarket exhaust system is in order.

It's a brand new 05 that I had built, and I should be receiving it within a week. I just want a good exhaust that doesn't have resonance problems(if diesels get them) like some have had on the gas engine 4x4's I've had in the past. Plan on getting a 100hp programmer of some sort without going overboard.

05's come with 4" exhaust so all you need to do is take of the Cat and replace the stock muffler with a high flow performance muffler. Lots of people make 4" mufflers. If you want duals then you may need to buy a whole system.

Dirt Eater,
There are a few nice systems out there for your 2005 Ram Cummins.
MBRP makes very nice systems in both dual out and single out, and they offer then in either T-304 stainless or aluminized steel.
So there may not be too much performance change by installing aftermarket exhaust systems, but rather simply swapping out the muffler?
David,
I sent you an email. I had inquired about the Edge Juice/Attitude combo pricing a few days ago.

Well the new 600 series cummins come with a 4" downpipe, which is great for flow. but there is still something to be said about the rest of the system. I dont think there is any reason why you would not see a nice gain in performance with swapping out the stock exhaust from the Cat-back.

If you take just the cat off it will not be much louder, and may smoke more. For a muffler just get any 4" stainless. Bullydog and Banks both make them. And it is illegal to remove the cat :cool: .

MBRP makes a direct replacment muffler for the 600 series cummins. It sounds really good and is a direct bolt in.
