Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / November 20061996 3500 Dually 5.9 Cummings exaust upgrade
I'm new to the message board, new to Dodge, and new to Diesel. Just bought a 1996 3500 Dually with the cummings. I will be doing alot of towing with it (13,000 to 15,000 pounds). Have read alot about 4' exhaust systems from the turbo back. There supposed to increase power/torque and lower egt. Just wondering if anyone has any pointers on which system would be the best. What is the best muffler, is 5 or 6 inch worth the extra money over 4'. I would appreciate any help. Thanks. > bought a 1996 3500 Dually with the cummings. See that emblem on your door? The one that says "RAM3500"? See what's written underneath that? Notice how there's no 'G'? That's not by accident... > exhaust systems from the turbo back. There supposed to increase > power/torque and lower egt. More of an EGT reduction that a power gain. You'll get a bit of a bump, but nothing significant. The real story is in EGT reduction (especially when coupled with a better intake). > Just wondering if anyone has any pointers on which system would be the > best. > What is the best muffler, is 5 or 6 inch worth the extra money over 4'. At stock power levels, no - nothing over 4" is beneficial. As for exhaust kit selection, most any aftermarket kit will come with an efficient, straight-through muffler. Stainless steel is better than aluminized, and priced accordingly. However, if you're in any of the colder climates, the up-front cost of the SS system will pay for itself in the long run by virtue of it's longer lifetime. So the guy accidentally typed a g. Don't be such a dick. > > bought a 1996 3500 Dually with the cummings. > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > climates, the up-front cost of the SS system will pay for itself in the long > run by virtue of it's longer lifetime. > So the guy accidentally typed a g. Don't be such a dick. Yeah, I'm sure everyone who uses that "g" did it accidentally.  SignatureMax Join www.devilbrad.com and find out what free exchange of info is all about.
