What is the deal with the TINY exhaust pipes on trucks February 21, 2006, 12:11:41 AM I really don't get why all these guys are putting "duals" on on their trucks and run 2" or smaller pipes out the back. I know it gives them that raspy, redneck sound but geez...for one it looks stupid, for two...how does a dual 1 1/2" exhaust help performance? I even saw an eclipse the other day with glasspacks and what looked like dual 1 1/2" pipes coming out the back. That's hi-po right there! Quote Selected

That's hi-po right there! Something with a small amount of displacement should not have too big an exhaust. If the Eclipse's exhaust was 1 1/2" after it splits into duals and say 2 1/4" or 2 1/2" further up where it is one pipe it may actually be a good setup for it.That size pipe on a relatively large V8 is IMHO a waste of time, money, and effort however. Think off the power lost higher in the RPM range and the gas mileage drop when driving on the highway. Quote Selected

What is the deal with the TINY exhaust pipes on trucks Reply #11 – February 22, 2006, 08:08:30 PM I only see the big exhausts, and the stacks, on the diesels. Although I did see a V8 superduty last year with stacks. But I see LOTS of diesel superdutys and dodges with twin 5" stacks, which looks pretty stupid. Quote Selected

What is the deal with the TINY exhaust pipes on trucks Reply #14 – February 22, 2006, 11:19:17 PM I made a comment about the 5" stacks once (I think on stangnet) and someone said "well that's what size they run on semis." Yeah exactly...on semis, which are HUGE, so the 5" pipes look better proportionally. On a pickup truck I think 3.5", maybe 4" stacks would be just right...but that's not what anyone runs.
