holy Ludicris speed!!!

[IDIoit]

took my 01 F250 through some rough terrain this weekend,
highsided the rearend on a BFL.(big fricken log)

i was in 2wd, and thought id check to see what i was stuck on before locking in....

the log, about 3' in diameter was wedged under the pumpkin and the receiver.
so instead of trying to lock in, i decided it was better to get the jack out and remove the log so i didnt rip a brake line or something.
got the log out and fired up the truck.

holy turbo whistle and an extra 60ish hp.
truck sounded meaner than usual!

.

turns out the slip exhaust coupler decided to slip free!

so i was running an open DP right next to my 4R100 electrical...NO BUENO!!!
luckily i added an aluminum heat sheild to keep the exhaust away from it.

got it back home while grinning at the extra power and turbo whistle.
but frowning at the odd steering.
let the truck cool down, and fixed the exhaust, and back to her tame ole self...

i also destroyed the steering stabilizers which made me think i bent some steering components... easy fix,
i robbed the shocks off the MANchero and fixed it

looks like i may have a plugged muffler.
the PO installed a 4" aftermarket exhaust, but boy does it restrict the flow!
i will be making some flanges for the muffler for ease of replacement when it comes time for smog inspections.
and make the same length straight pipe...
screw a muffler!
FYI, non catalytic truck

Cool nothing nothing sounds better than a straight piped powerstroke.

Muffler?? What is that thing. No PSD should have one.

 

[IDIoit]

I have not modified this truck at all.
I normally don't even drive it unless im going on long distances.
but with my 87 down, its either that or the E350

Hey!!! Mine still has one.... for now..... I am making preparations for the 2 big round things under there to become 1 small round thing..... about 3.5" around.......

were talking about REAL powerstrokes Scott, you know, the 7.3's

Mufflers ? What's dem tings?

Want a sweet sound? Here's my Muffler. It's 14" long, 6" dia., inlet/outlet 3.5", the cups inside can face either way, depending on the sound you want, it will whistle at WOT in one direction. ;

Fired up the PSD yesterday, let it run for awhile checking things out after the "Hunting wires" saga.

Lady across the street closed her windows and pulled down the shades, musta been a little loud as the trucks rear faces the way.

Looks like she's working today, her exploder is gone, might make a u-tube video of the sound.

You need to round up that 3.5" to a nice even 4".

What.. No love for a 6.oh.

The only reason I'm looking at 3.5 at this point, I am on a budget for this... and I just want to make a clean slice in front of the cat, and the rear of the muffler and drop it out, and put 2 band clamps and a section of pipe in its place. THe stock stuff is 3.5 and I am just wanting to swap out the middle. I may change everything out at some point in time (Turbo back) but the rest of the truck is 100% stock, except an EGR Delete, so a bigger exhaust isn't going to do much for me at this point. I mainly just want it to breathe better, and the muffler and cat have 156,000 miles on it so I am sure it's a bit plugged up, plus I ma starting to notice a bit more exhaust note....

Plus I have a neighbor that doesn't like my diesel truck.........

You sure factory is 3.5?
Always looked smaller than the 3.5 on the 7.3. And I don't know if the 6.0 is the same way, but on the 7.3 it's only 3.5 from cat back. In front of the cat it's 3.
Amazon has diamond eye kits for decent prices.
