Different mufflers produce different sound. Diameter of exhaust makes a big difference too. We have a 4" Banks with Banks muffler on our 2000 7.3. Has a very nice, very quality, throaty sound to it. On our 6.0 and 6.4 we have 5" exhaust and mufflers. They sound better and different then the same trucks/motors with 4" exhaust.

Yep! What exhaust did you install? Muffler- Yes/no?

Different tunes will produce different results in mileage too.

Good to hear. Night and day difference for sure.

Are you using grease on the o-rings and on the your pipes where they slide over the exhaust spigots during installation?

I've rode one crotch rocket one time. An early model R1. I took it out for a quick spin. It belonged to one of my employees. I had no helmet and no proper gear on. Thing was freaking Addicting!!! First straight stretch I found I did a 3 gear wheelie from about 20 mph up to 95. The rush was beyond description. I promptly returned it to the owner after maybe a 5 mile ride. I knew if I went any longer I was asking for trouble...

Uh, time to ride!

You can cut a TM Design unit to fit a 17 tooth. I run 16/40 with my 18" tires. I had to use my dremel with a barrel type cutter to allow it to take the 16 tooth. There's plenty of material left to go to a 17 and not have any worries.

I have been very happy with my TM Design case saver.

Just curious to see the before and after results. Kinda hard to see from the pics you have here what exactly is going on.

Do you have a before pic?

So, your cascade stator cover is chromed? Clutch cover and lock out cover chromed as well?

More details on this please! This is clear powder coat over all the shiny goodies?

That's good. I'm mostly just giving ya crap. Mine had zero issues when I dropped a small fortune on my Laeger build and the time spent on it. The realities of a wife, four kids and a business to run cut into the amount of time I had hoped to invest into it at times.

The wife will be jealous of all the attention that shine is gonna need...

Looks good for sure

I'm gonna screen shot your response and bring it up later when you post pics of roasting the tires on the Dodge. Lol It's like the Banshee, once you get the itch, it's always there.

Just my $0.02 from having both fixed and adjustable tuners on various trucks, get a multi tune selector. It's nice to be able to select economy mode when your cruising, then click it up when you want to stomp on it at the stop lights. Also, if you get a tow specific tune, there is a noticeable difference in power delivery, especially torque delivery making trailer towing even nicer. Multi position are absolutely worth it.

Those 6.7's rock and roll with a good tune on them. My best friend here has an 07 with a 6.7 and auto, tuned by an H&S tuner. Thing flat Moves!! You have to be careful of the tranny though, it will slip on the high tune very easily. On a side note: He's also had to the typical Dodge front end work by 80K miles on a truck with stock size tires and never pulls anything more then a 3 place snowmobile trailer.

It would make sense. Paging F1HDR, come in please.

I was thinking I had heard the same thing on the pre emissions cummins motors too.

Race gas motor right?

My feed back from personal experience with a 6.4, from a guy who is a Ford diehard and has 6 different ford powerstroke superduty trucks: I would be most leary of a 6.4 that has not been tuned and deleted that has some miles on it. Especially if it has high engine hours to miles driven ratio. If it has been tuned and deleted from low hours and mileage, I think the risk is greatly reduced. I have found out the hard way that an emissions compliant 6.4 will NOT tolerate short distance driving and extended periods of idling. My 6.4 has been a problem child for me. My issues developed while it was 100% stock at about 40,000 miles and with higher then average engine hours. Had I of known what I have learned from the whole fiasco, I would have tuned and deleted it from the day it left the dealer lot new. The emissions systems will cause those motors to self destruct in the type of use I typically do. I know of many others who have 6.4s that drive extended lengths on emissions compliant 100% stock motors and have had no issues, well past the 150,000 miles and more mark. Once I tuned and deleted mine it turned into an awesome monster. 50% mileage increase driving empty. 75-100% mileage increase towing heavy and unbelievable power and torque. If you look seriously into a 6.4, I would check it out extremely thoroughly. I know this experience does not strictly apply to the Ford 6.4 motors. The others will have similar results in similar driving conditions. The risk in my opinion would be: 7.3 lowest risk 6.0 middle 6.4 most risk

More government regulations...

Do you live in NJ? What I'm getting at is, do you have meet emissions testing and compliance where you live?
