I'm not that big of a cummins fan but your truck is one of the best I've seen. I'm starting to really like the 4th gens!
If you think fourth gens are great. Wait till you hear a 12 valve lol
Those right turns are cool perspective of the truck.
I can just watch this over and over.
Don’t know why people hate on rams there good
That's one badass straight piped Cummins right there. And beautiful truck as well. I love the Laramie Limited.
This is how they should sound from the factory, but trees and bumblebees with asthma i guess.
Damn the epa and Ralph Nader .
your truck is so God dam amazing
I’ve probably watched this video 100 times. Prior to deleting my 2014 and still after deleting my 2018 and “new to me” 2014.
This thing sounds great I'm waiting on mine to be delivered. Went through broke most of the bolts loose, so install day will be a snap!!! Got the 4 inch flo pro with muffler just in case its too loud for me.
Greg everyone has their own preference as far as sound goes. I’ve got the 5 inch tbe and I can hardly hear it in the cab. The neighbors aren’t fond of it though 😎
Go ahead and pull that egr cooler now so install will be a breeze. That takes the most time and the biggest PITA.
@@JHeck1989 thanks amigo! Pretty much anything to me on this truck is a breeze been working on Powerstrokes for years, the Cummins is so nice after smashing my hands up all those years. The fuel mileage I get stock just blows my ford out the water. F250 deleted with tunes and stage 2 turbo 450 Hp 360 miles per tank. Same routes in the ram no tune 515 miles per tank. Most of the time i fill up with 26.5 to 27.3 gallons. But yeah man im loving the ram just missing the sound. Emissions warranty just ended and somehow that dang DPF system fell off. I've also got about 2000 lbs of tools and boxes that roll with me daily.
A local guy, and a killer rig. Thanks for the video 💪🏻
He still gots if?
That diesel truck is a beast from the island
truck sounds amazing man, not a bad looking truck either, can't go wrong with a 4th Gen Cummins
Badass truck. Sounds like you could use a little grease on that hitch though
Thanks man! And yes, definitely needed grease. This was the first time out with it that year so I didn't realize how dry it was.
Still hands down my favorite 4th gen build
hahaha, I like how you blew through that stop sign... such a sexy sound and cant wait to get my 13' 6.7 straight piped.
I have been locking around the last 45min after a decent video whith great sound and whith a great ram cummins, finaly! Wow 👌
Now I can go to bed and sleep like a baby😊👍
Greetings from Sweden!
This video is a real treat.Just bought the same year truck but its a megacab .
That is absolutely awesome!!! I'm deleting mine right now damit. You really have done a great job on that truck, great show, thank you.
Truck sounds perfect
Damn you got a bad ass truck. sounds mean as hell
Brother your truck is fire much love
Beautiful truck! I love the sound, and that clean tune! FYI the power wagon air deflector looks badass on the Cummins trucks. I installed on on mine and it gets rid of the 2” lip at the bottom.
Thanks for sharing!
Sounds awesome bro 💪🏿
Sounds so damn good
Best sound in the world.
Wish I could download for my ringtone/notifications. 😄
What do you haul? I have a 28' Covered Cargo I pull for Landscape/Lawn maintenance etc.
1:11 ❤ i love sound
I don't even need to tow, but I want a setup like this so badly!!
Great video, love the sound.
beautiful truck :) sounds healthy!
Hey this is my first vid of watching you and I have 07 cummins with an H&S mini max aswell, Just wondering how much did the tuning cost roughly? How long did they take? Btw sounds great man
Custom tuning typically costs around $150 or so but it depends on the tuner. Then you also need the MCC unlock code which is $300 and I'd recommend the trans tuning unlock code as well which is $200. Turn around time is generally very quick as it's all done via email. They just need your VIN and then they can write the tune file and email it to you. If you want some more information contact Ray Rich at Double R Diesel and let him know I sent you and he can get you taken care of.
Earrape at 1:17, so funny!!
lol
Beautiful truck
Best video i have seen for sound clips of exhaust on a cummins! I want to go with the 8" BDS 4-link & 37's as well but not sure if the truck will be to high for the police in my state. Every video on here that supposedly has this setup the height looks completely different from truck to truck. In New Hampshire they go by the height of the bottom of the bumper. Is there a chance you could measure from the ground to the bottom of yours? It would be much appreciated. Im not sure if they count the air dam or not so a measurement of both would be great. Thank you so much in advance. Great video (you should make more!) and great truck...
An 8in lift is HUGE my guy - I had a 5in lift w/ 35s on my 2nd gen and even that was a pain to get in an out of. Also, you can fit 37s on these 4th gen Cummins with a leveling kit and minimal trimming. Good luck!
hey it's ur neighbours Alberta nice vid
Damn that sounds nice!!👍
Stop signs are for rookies.
the things I would do for a truck like that
Sweet truck Brandon , was wondering where you ordered all your led's from ? And also how you went about installing the cabin filter , Thanks!
I got my interior LED's off Amazon. I found a package that included all necessary interior LED's for a Ram. They all fit and work great. Installing the cabin air filter is very simple. You just need to pull out the glove box and cut out the area marked on the heater box, then put in the filter and the cap over top. You can read up on it more on it in post #612 of my build thread - www.ramforumz.com/showthread.php?t=151614&page=62
need to put a little grease on the ball of the hitch if your gonna film from back there because the noise when you turn is irritating. i love your truck. great truck.
Yeah it was done right after this video. This was the first time out with it this year so I forgot to grease it up before going.
Brandon Jansen its cool brother.i just wanted to let you know, having some grease on it also keeps excess wear from happening to the neck of the trailer so its never a bad idea to put a little grease on it from time to time. did you buy that truck new? its one of the best looking one ive seen in awhile. .
Yup, no worries. Definitely agree that it's good to have on there.
Yes I did buy the truck new. I've done pretty much all of the build myself with the exception of the gear swap and the headlight build. Thanks for the compliment!
Brandon Jansen sweet ride man. that would be my dream truck and if i was ever able to afford one id be happy for the rest of my life. such a beautiful truck.
That's not caused by lack of grease on the ball I grease the hell out of my hitch and it does the same thing it's caused by using load distribution bars they work great but are noisy as hell
Not a fan of chrome wheels but your truck is bad ass
I only from Brazil is short your Dodge RAM videos!
SWEET SWEET MUSIÇ !!! Dus that engine have the offset from centre outlet type exhaust manifold fitted to it?
How you remove the silence ring. Can you make video inside cab
Same set up for a few years buddy. Drop hitch my 29 ft on the back of the 12 cummins sounds the exact same and my rims almost even look the same Haha. Trucks gray too
U got insta add Me @joelnag
So I don’t know much about vehicles but my beloved work truck was dying (2012 ram 5500 bucket truck) and I took it in to have it saved and they did an egr and def system delete , straight piped it with no exhaust tip and install a new intake and I was trying to find a video of what it sounds like to show my buddy and I found this , sounds just like this . I know have the most badass bucket truck in my state hahaha
Be careful, DOT could shut it down. Super expensive to put emissions back on.
@@lukewortley we’ll update it’s broke down like 6 times since this and has only been out on the road for maybe a total of 3 weeks hahahaha
I'd move to America just to own one of these hahah soo jealous
This one's in Canada ;)
+Brandon Jansen yeah Canada is better 👍🏼
Yeah, me too! :D
Is D ouble R still selling this tune??
Can you tell the trailer is behind you as in Does it slow down some accelerating
You can tell it's there for sure. It, of course, slows it down over being empty if you try to give it the same amount of fuel. But giving it a little more fuel gets it all moving no problem. Overall it pulls like a beast.
@@brandon.jansen awesome I never could understand when people say they are towing 12k and can't tell it's there lol
Lee Lee it’s just because say you drive the same road at 65 up all the hills and every corner empty every day. Then you hook up to 15k and are able to drive exactly the same. “Can’t even tell it’s there!”
Any issues with your head gasket with the delete and tune? Very sharp truck by the way, looks and sounds good!
Nope, no issues at all. I am running ARP 425 head studs for insurance but with proper tuning the stock bolts should hold up for a simple tune/delete.
Brandon Jansen How much did the studs run?
I think they were around $420 or so. Shoot me an email at sales@revelperformance.com and I can get you a quote.
I know this is an older video but I gotta ask, given the chance would you go with this gear ratio again? I just bought a 2018 and I’m planning on getting 35s so i know I’m going to need a regear in the near future
If I did it over again I'd probably go with 4.30's for 37's. The 4.56's tow like a beast but are a little low for unloaded highway driving; I'd like to get the rpm back down for those trips when necessary. So it partially comes down to your own needs/setup for the truck and what you plan on doing with it.
Grimm Jeeper is a good online gear ratio calculator to determine roughly where you'll end up with different gear ratios/tire sizes.
@@brandon.jansen you still have this truck haha i randomly watched this video and seen the road signs and im from chilliwack
@@marshallpennier1034 yup I do. Still daily driven all over the Fraser Valley.
Hey what are you wheels? American force? And what is your offset?
American Force Independence SS8's. 22x12 -40 offset.
Do you know if bully dog gt diesel use the same advanced timing for all 3 tunes ? At idle you can only notice difference in sound when switching from stock to tow. Tow performance and extreme all sound the same
I have a 12 Cummins myself. What all did you have to do to get the 13 projector headlights to fit?
They bolt in no problem just as the quad headlights do. You just need a wiring harness from Retro Shop LLC to make them work.
From the bottoms of your bumpers to the ground what does it measure. Just trying to figure out if I wanna lift mine 6" or 8".
Dude, put some grease on your tow ball
Nice stops.
I can't choose between a 5.9 tune or a 12v tune by double R diesel. 12v has more "diesel clatter" when the 5.9 has a deeper and louder exhaust tone.
5.9cr tune all day long.
nice
Speedy Spartan
If ur choosing between a 5.9 12 valve or a 5.9 24 valve tune....why did you buy a 6.7?
What did you have to do after gear swap for your truck to shift normal again i went to 4.56 from a 3.42 and a 35 inch tire my tuner said to send him a data log of my truck shift points and he could make me one to shift closer to stock meaning now I shift into over drive and through gears a lot faster now due to higher trans output shaft speeds ect obviously I know it's never going to shift at the same points it did with 3.42 due to higher rpms now but there has to be something you can do to make it more enjoyable to drive without shifting through gears so fast. also have the 68 trans as well I'm sure I'm experiencing a little more earlier shifts then you did due to I'm running a 2 inch smaller tire
Thinking of doing the 4.56 gears on my truck as I'm also running 37's. Would you say they made a really big improvement in the trucks performance, especially while towing? Thanks
They were one of the biggest improvements performance wise for sure. I couldn't stand driving it with the 37's and stock 3.73's; swapping to 4.56's made it WAY better to drive. And towing it's pretty much unstoppable. I've pulled this trailer weighing in at +/- 10,000 lbs up 7% grades in 5th gear and don't even slow down. I'm very impressed with how it performs with weight behind it.
Does your new 5” have a deeper tone than the 4”?
Yup, definitely.
No extra power to be had 4" for me.
Is the 4 inch system in this video the one that bolts onto the stock downpipe?
No, it's a 2012 so it doesn't have the flange at the end of the downpipe like the 13+ trucks do. So this is straight from the turbo. Same idea as bolting to the flange on the 13+ trucks because I don't think there's a cat in the downpipe on them like there was in the 07.5-12.
Brandon Jansen okay so the 2014 shouldn't have a cat in there?
I believe the cat is after the downpipe on a 2014.
does your truck have a 2nd gen manifold, sounds good
Nope I'm still running the stock manifold and VGT. The deeper sound partially comes from the custom tuning I'm running that keeps the exhaust vanes open more to make it sound more like a fixed vane turbo.
what is your wheel and tire setup?
22x12 American Force Independence SS8's with 37x13.5 Toyo MT's.
good looks
you said top gunz makes a 1 inch front coil spacer did you have to call them or where did you order it from
I ordered straight from their website.
Do you have a defuel level set for egts ? If so what temp and where is it located ?
Jeebraa Pskiii nope. Don't run defuels on a MiniMaxx for anything. They only pull pack fuel and not injection timing which is a great way to blow a head gasket. You're better off just watching your gauges and let off a bit if the EGT's are getting too hot.
Brandon Jansen what is too hot for a 6.7 cummins ? My pyro is on my manifold right by cylinder 5 and 6 in egr blocker plate. My bully dog gt diesel has defueling so when boost is too high or pyro temp it returns truck to stock tune until it's back in the safe numbers.
Jeebraa Pskiii I'd still turn them off completely. Bully Dog uses the same tuning platform as a MiniMaxx. Returning it to the stock tune fuel level wise doesn't pull back the timing.
The block off plate typically runs about 100-150 cooler than the collector. In the collector typically 1250 sustained is a good number but it can handle spikes up to 1600 for short periods of time.
Brandon Jansen, you got me confused a bit with the timing if my boost gets to high and it defuels even if it only pulls back the fuel I shouldn't blow a head gasket cause it won't explode as hard with less fuel but same timing ? Em I close to right ?
And with egts, when u say collecter you mean where manifold goes into one right before turbo ? cylinder 5 & 6 are the hottest any way so I probably shouldn't let them get over 1200 ? My truck is all stock other than 5" turbo back straight pipe and the bully dog tuner ? I seen max boost psi was 32 on my truck on stock tune so I set defuel to 34 so it can't go over 33 and I have been running it in performance tune for the most part and noticed a littler high egts when WOT, 940 max sorry if I ask to much questions hehe
Oh and also can't I keep my defuels on ? because it will kinda help and mainly tell me when I'm pushing to hard so than I can let of cause when it defuels I let off I don't keep on the throttle.
High boost (in this application) isn't what could cause the head gasket to blow. Too much timing with not enough fuel increases combustion pressure which can potentially blow the head gasket. That's why it's best to turn the defuel settings off and just monitor your gauges yourself.
Yes, the collector of the manifold just before the turbo flange. That's the hottest location and typically about 150°F hotter than having it in the rear block off plate. It's also most accurate as the heat in the turbo is what you're trying to monitor so the closer to the turbo the better.
32-36 psi sounds about right for your setup. You don't want to push the stock turbo much past that as it becomes inefficient past 36 psi. 34 psi is a good max number to see.
Again, I would turn all the defuels off and just monitor your gauges and let off when needed.
I love this truck. But what do you do for a living that allows you to afford all of the mods that you did to the truck?
Trailrider155 I'm a project manager/estimator for a general contractor. Started at 20 years old and work hard.
Brandon Jansen that's awesome man. Major respect for you, I hope to one day own a truck like yours.
Trailrider155 you don't have to make a fortune. Most of the guys who buy these trucks put them on credit and are upside down on the truck for the entirety of their ownership. A buddy of mine lives in a double wide, has a $70,000 ford, and makes 31k a year. It doesn't take much.

Hey bud, don’t pay attention to the last post, John Doe, that’s a pretty ignorant statement to say. Everyone’s finances are different just as much as their choice in a truck. Some finance, some pay cash. I traded in a 2015 SLT CCSB automatic Cummins that was paid for, for a new 2018 CCLB Cummins G56, put down a couple bucks too & only financed $21k. My son bought a 2004 CCLB automatic 2 yrs ago for $19k & paid cash for it so I don’t agree with what that last guy said. Buy what you can afford & work ur way up to what you really want, it’ll make your final purchase worth the hard work.
Truck sounds and looks badass man! What would you recommend I do first to a 2012 2500 Cummins automatic? Would like to delete the egr valve and cooler, delete the DPF, and possibly the muffler too. Wasn't aware they had a turbo silencer ring, probably will delete that as well
Thanks man!
Deletes are one of the first things I did and I highly recommend it. When you install a delete tuner you have to delete the DPF at the same time. The tuner will turn off the EGR as well but I recommend removing it completely along with the cooler.
The turbo silencer ring is a bit of a pain to remove. You have to take the compressor housing off the turbo and drill out 3 pins to get it out. Definitely does make the turbo louder though but it's not as clean of a whistle sound as a fixed vane aftermarket turbo.
Awesome man, thanks for the info! We actually ordered a sinister EGR cooler and valve delete, throttle valve delete, a mini maxx tuner, and a full 4 inch aluminized exhaust yesterday. It's gonna go down on Saturday morning lol
I want mine to bellow like yours does right when it upshifts, I used to have a 2500 hemi that was straight piped that did that too, miss that truck. Damn that thing was fast lol
Oh yeah. I'm also doing a CCV delete and external filter, don't want that oil feeding into that VGT
Brandon is your truck a 68RFE or Aisin trans? I have the 68, been reading a lot of horror stories about it, makes me nervous lol
What drop hitch did ya get and from where?
It's a Curt Manufacturing 14.5" adjustable drop shank. I bought it from Summit Racing but etrailer sells them as well.
Where is link
obviously the exhaust but what other important things gives it that deep grumble? and the good kind of huffing puffing sound? i have a 2500 and i want to imitate that sound like exactly
Read the description above, I think its the 5.9 tune.
The 5.9cr tune gives it the lower sound over other 6.7's for sure.
Are you towing on stock hitch? What's the rating on a stock hitch
Yes, stock hitch on the truck. It's a Class IV rated for 10,000 lbs.
#Brandon Jansen how's the 68rfe holding up and is it stock or built?
It's fully stock still with the exception of custom tuning. I haven't had any issues with it so far. I believe the custom tuning definitely helps. I'm running increased line pressure and have changes pretty much all the shift points both up and down to keep the truck running in a good rpm range. Keeping it from lugging at low rpm goes a long ways. Then a big factor is how you drive it. Not mashing the skinny pedal in the overdrive gears (5th or 6th) helps a lot as well.
your driving around Aby
How’s the truck doing , did you just do delete pipes and what too did you use ?
Working great! In this video I had a full 4" Flo Pro turbo back kit. Since then I've swapped to a 5" Flo Pro with muffler. Still a full turbo back exhaust.
@@brandon.jansen since the switch, what do you like/dislike from 4 to 5.? My 4" race pipe and efi live arrive next week. Your video and truck are what I keep listening to and watching lol
@@beardedpatriot0 the 5" has a better sound/tone to it in my opinion. Deeper, less raspy, just better overall. It's still loud but not obnoxiously loud like the 4" straight pipe was at times. The 4" straight pipe sucked for towing as it droned a lot up in the RPM range you want to be in pulling hills. A muffler would have helped with that I'm sure but I wanted to go for the full deeper tone of the 5".
@@brandon.jansen crazy. Lots of guys say they get more drone on the 5. I dont haul much at all. Just my boat to the launch. I do a bunch of town driving. So, living on the beach and not a hwy area I figured I should delete sooner than later. Good thing the race pipe wasnt expensive. If it's to raspy I may try a muffler. All fails I'll do 5 with a 30 in muffler. But yours still sounded awesome to me from this video. Thanks for the reply.
What kinda MPG do you get towing/unloaded? I know that lift and tires must bring it down like 2-3 mpg
Unloaded mixed city and highway I average around 15 mpg or so. Highway only it's up around 16-16.5. Towing it's around 10-11 depending on the weight and terrain.
Brandon Jansen Not bad. I've heard people claiming 22-24 mpg on the highway at like 70 mph with the newer 6.7 doesn't seem like that could be possible for such a large truck and motor
the 2013+ trucks with the new ECM and DEF do get far better mileage. I'd say 22-24 mpg is reasonable given the right circumstances however most guys will be lower. I also don't believe anyone that goes solely off the EVIC. Need to use an app or hand calculate to get proper numbers for sure.
Yeah it was off the dash thing lol that's very impressive tho. A truck that size with a gas engine would get like 15 mpg at best on the highway.
17-20 hwy 2016 6.7 Cummins with 15,000 miles and that's taking it real easy like really really really easy. Full emissions also. I did a 4k+ road trip and got 14-18. bad weather and high speeds don't get mileage. lol
What trans tune you running?
Custom tuning from Ray Rich at Double R Diesel. I worked with him quite a bit to fine tune the trans side of things to get it where I wanted.
Brandon Jansen I have a 2012 Cummins DRW. I’ve done a complete egr dpf ccv delete. Tuner is the Raceme JUN turner(not the ULTRA). My question is a trans tune necessary? I see you did but with a mini maxx tuner.
Could use some grease on that hitch...
It was greased right after this video. This was the first time out with it this year and I didn't realize it was so dry before hooking up.
How thay exhaust break work can you really feel it kick in?
Works great especially when towing in the mountains. I've actually had to turn it off coming down some hills because it's slowing the truck down too much. Definitely a great thing to have for towing.
Im looking to get a dodge but idk whats the best year to get like i love the 1,2,3,4 gen dodge but want a good strong work truck
If you dont care as much about frills and can wrench a bit, go for a 2nd gen 12v(94-98.5). Simple motor that doesnt throw a fit over a bad ground or some cheap sensor.
The 24v vp44 (98.5 - 02) are a bit more problematic with expensive electronic fueling issues and other electrical problems (mopar 🤷♂️). 3rd gen common rail 5.9's (03-07.5)are nice and a bit less problematic.
Just try to stay clear of anything around 08 from any manufacturer really (since they were all trying to figure out emissions then)
No matter what you go with, if its dodge try and find a manual one if you have any plans to tune/tow heavy often. These autos dont stand up to much abuse unless you shell out the cash to build them.
If you want a mixture of overall reliability and performance go for an early 3rd gen(2003-2006) with an nv5600 trans. 5.9 24v common rail best part is still no emissions.
The 4th gen deleted for sure

What did you use to mount your GoPro to the trailer?
A GoPro suction cup mount.
Did you also use a tether? I just got mine and was wanting to try it out.
Sorry... more questions.. What frame/case did you use on the GoPro during the recording? Did you use an external mic or anything? The sound from this video is really good.
No tether, just the GoPro suction cup mount. It works very well and I've never been concerned with it coming off. I've run it on the side of my race car doing 130 mph and it stays on.
The GoPro was in the open back skeleton case. No external mic, just the GoPro itself. I was definitely happy with the sound quality out of this one as well.
What RPM is it at when it sounds like it’s rapping off ? Sounds sick, wanna make my truck sound identical
I don't remember exactly but it was likely around 2100-2200 rpm.
My 14 with 4” straight doesn’t get raspy at all. It’s actually quite mild. 🤨
@@222foxracer I've changed my exhaust literally 100 times with 4 and 5 inch different exhaust exits I made my own the more restrictions your exhaust has the more you get the sound the more free flowing it is seems to have a more whistle sound
Lee Lee this clip you had just a straight 4” with a 5” tip?
@@222foxracer this isn't my clip I'm just telling you from my experience on my 6.7
Szuper☺☺👍👍✌👌👌👌👌👊👊👊🎄🎄🎄Hungary☺☺☺☺
Do the tires rub at all with the 37 and the 22/12?
I had to trim the bottom of the inner fender liner off and a small lip on the fender flare. But with that done, no they don't rub but they are close.
Torn between 22x12 or 22x14 on 37's, Nice truck, love the way it sits on the road.
What size exhaust tip on the 4”?
5” dual wall tip on that setup.
What hp tune do you run towing ?
When I tow for a long trip I run it around 40hp over stock. I have a specific tune file from Double R Diesel for towing and works very well.
What all done to the truck ?
It's all listed in the description.
What do you think is different about the 4 inch vs the 5 inch turbo back
The difference in size changes the sound. 5" is deeper. Once you get into higher performance than a 5" is required for air flow as well but a 4" works fine to 600-650hp.
I changed my exhaust to a 5" with muffler in the summer and like that setup quite a bit more than the 4" straight pipe in this video.
+Brandon Jansen why the muffler. Let it breathe and scream lol
The muffler is a straight through design so it can breathe more than it needs to still. I wanted it slightly quieter and the nicer tone of a muffler. Still is loud no doubt; especially when you get on it.
+Brandon Jansen I love the truck though I've had to have watched this like 7 times
You should do a video of your new exhaust with the 5.9cr tune, curious to see what it sounds like!
Exhaust sounds really mono. Maybe that's just the camera?
Is a newer cummins worth buying or should i go with a ford or Gmc
tyler mcguyrt okay don't listen to the jack ass who said get a 08. Horrible idea, don't get a 08-10 6.4. Watch out for 10-12 6.7 fords as the turbos are known to fail around 100k. 13 am up they fixed that issue

The 4” straight pipe got pretty droney in the cab when towing. I ended up swapping to a 5” system with a muffler after this video end it’s a far better setup overall in my opinion.
@@brandon.jansen I just put the 4" straight pipe on my 6.7 and it's pretty loud..thinking about adding muffler..i love the sound but my neighbors hate me😆
@@koas8478 totally fair. I ended up switching to a 5” with muffler in 2016. Just never made a video of it. The 4” straight pipe was obnoxiously loud and ended up having quite a bit of drone towing on longer trips.
@@brandon.jansen just curious..what made you switch to a 5 and not just put muffler on the 4?
@@koas8478 wanted the deeper tone of the 5" as well. I ended up getting the pipes full power coated as well so I wanted to start fresh rather than trying to clean up the old 4"
I HAVE.......
Wish I can str8 pipe my 15 megacab but I live in CA 😒
Then move to one of the smog exempt counties up north, it’s fun.
What's the trailer weight?
In this video it was pretty empty so it was around 5500 lbs.
How come you choose to go with 4” and not 5”
I went 4" originally because I thought I liked the sound better based off videos I had found on UA-cam. I switched to a 5" with muffler a couple years ago and am much happier with the setup.
Brandon Jansen does the 5" still have that rapping off sound at 2100-2200 RPM ?
It still gets loud and changes sound there but doesn't have the same rapping sound. Overall the 5" sounds a lot better in my opinion. Still good and loud when you want it to be but not obnoxious and in your face constantly. Doesn't drone when towing either like the 4" did.
Brandon Jansen could you do a start up vid or one just like this one with the 5" ? I trying to decide with or with out muffler
Lord Walker I’d like to hear this too
What part of BC are you from?
Abbotsford
no way I'm right in Mt. Vernon, i go there quite often! Just about bought a 12 right in Abbotsford
+Bryce May nice! I was just through Mt Vernon last weekend with the truck and trailer. Went down to Bremerton for drag racing.
No way man! Ive been watching your truck vids for years now and always loved them, that would've been the coolest thing to see your truck in person driving down the road
Im stuck between a 5 inch pipe and a 4 inch on my 2016 cummins. Ideas guys?
Joel Salomons I recently switched from the 4" straight pipe to a 5" with muffler and am way happier with this setup. Sounds smoother with a really great tone. Slightly quieter as well but still good volume.
Does it still have that like. Badass cracking sound to it as well?
It's not quite as raspy with the 5" and muffler. If you want raspy the 4" straight pipe is definitely the way to go.
What muffler did you go with on the 5”
Do you get high egts on this set up?
I turn down the tune when towing which helps a lot. But on steep, long hills I have to watch the pyrometer to keep the EGT’s in check; definitely not a mash the throttle and forget about it setup. Around town and not in the mountains the EGT’s aren’t a problem though.
@@brandon.jansen I get 1250 egts on a 6% hill towing 10k 2200rpm
I an on 37s with 4.10s
@@krayzyr1 sounds about the same as me depending on where your EGT probe is. Mine’s in the collector of the manifold just above the turbo and I typically hold it around 1250°F pulling long hills.
Yea same here my probe is right at the collection of the manifold.
Who's tunes are u runnung?
hows the drone when towing?
It definitely got a bit droney in the higher rpm range. Towing up hills etc. I ended up swapping it out for a 5" exhaust with muffler and am much happier with this setup. Better tone all around, slightly quieter so it's not so obnoxious, and no drone when towing.
what kind of muffler did you put on
Flo-Pro's 5" muffler that comes with their 1648 kit.

Hey bud looking at buying a Cummins to tow my 8.5 x 20 enclosed from Texas to Oregon, mountain passes kill my gasser. What mileage should I expect and what engine would you recommend? Totally new to diesels. Thanks and have a good one.
South Texas Banshee I get about 24 mpg when towing deez nutz.
Must be greatin having a headache and listening to a loud drone every time you have to tow or drive for a trip!
Doesn't drone inside the cab at all unless climbing a hill.
Brandon Jansen That sound never gets old
what's VGT
Variable Geometry Turbo. That's what all the 6.7 Cummins run from the factory. If I remember correctly it's a Holset HE351.
I'm fat
