Filter-Back exhaust

[rushjunkie]

Want to get a filter-back exhaust for the 08 d-max. The factory system is uglier than Courtney Love after a three day bender... :?:

Whats my best bet? Banks system looks pretty good, so does the blacked out RBP, but RBP is pricey..

There was a dude who told me that i can get similar HP results by just cuting the mo-fo a little after the filter and adding a piece bent out toward the curb... just plain crazy... right?

My 2 cents for an 08: leave it alone....stock. Those diesel particulate filters are sensative and shouldn't really be messed with. It sucks they are so damn hideous looking.

i was thinking that messing with the exhaust after the filter should be ok... but i guess the difference in back pressure will mess with it, if it is sensitive. :mischevious:

It's just that GM is VERY picky now with honoring warrantied items on vehicles that have had the exhaust or programming changed. I'd be very hesitant to do anything with them. Sucks for sure.

That hideous megaphone lookin thing serves a purpose. That's the point- don't f*ck with it. :hungry:

Yeah i know, our GM warranty/service rep out here is especially nasty. Our Hummer people hate his azz.

:hungry: does changing the indexing keys for the torsion bars mess with any warranties? i definitely need some bigger tires. I have the nicer 17" but the tires are still pizza cutters...

I doubt you'd get any grief for that.

if you want just a filter back magnaflow makes a bitchin one but if you want to make it awesome with a lot more horse power and 5+ mpg the take it off and do the turbo back 5inch system from magnaflow and put a quadzilla chip in the truck and you will be amazed dont go with banks or rbp they are nice but you are paying for the name magnaflow is the same and looks greaat anyohter questions ask me i work on trucks all day long
