BAM!!! That's what she said. Goodnight everybody!

 

Matt.....I can't line up all of the exhaust. I know I am going to have to make a cut but can't get them all in place in order to measure. Do you know what the typical cut is on the DIY rear exhaust pipe? I have no skills........

 

Here's my review and install. Hope this helps!

Dynomax Evolution Competition exhaust exits before the rear axle

After a post and a lot of YOUTUBE sound clips, I decided to go with the Dynomax Evolution Competition exhaust. This is my review. ******************************* Keep in mind I have a basic mechanics tool box and a small garage******************
1. The removal of stock was a pain! I recommend using a saws-all. Made the job a lot easier!
2. The clamp at the ''Y" pipe was a Mo Fo! Could not get a socket on it and if I could no room to break loose! I tried using the saws-all on it but again no room. My last resort was taking a cold chisel to it. Nada! Laying on my back staring up at the "Y" I realized that the stock and Dynomax pipe are the same in size....2.5......
3. I measured the Dynomax pipe. Length is 17 inches, so from the "Y" I measured out 17 inches, made my mark and took the saws-all to it.
4. Then I took sandpaper to the stock to smooth out, for easy slide into the new muffler. I all so recommend using some WD-40, but make sure to wipe the excess off.
5. Install the down pipe.
6. Tighten down all clamps. I recommend welding the pipes after install. Muffler shop in town did it for $12.00.

After the install, the test drive.
I can honestly say that I'm very happy with the results!
1. The drone is not bad at all. I only notice the drone when in 2nd gear at a speed of 15mph.
2. I have noticed a bit more power at take off. (minor....but I can feel the difference)
3. At cruising speed (45-50mph) hardly notice that there is an after market exhaust is on. Still a growl though. Have not been on the freeway yet, but I'm sure there is no difference.

Over all I'm very happy with the Dynomax Evolution Competition exhaust. I will and do recommend!

 

I appreciate that Killfoot. My problem is I'm running the exhaust out the rear and that pipe is too long. So getting it up over axle and into position with the muffler in place is damn near impossible. I can't line it up well enough to measure a cut.

Thanks for your step by step. Write-ups like that are why this forum rocks.

 

I'm in a 2 door. That's why I'm having problems. Seems I'm not as retarded as I thought. I just spent 20 minutes on the phone with Dynomax insisting that I need to cut this exhaust pipe. And this is what we determined. :(
Ordering up another part now. :(

 

Dynomax has a big rebate going, right now! I got mine through forum sponsor, Morris 4x4, who priced matched a competitor. Thanks, Michael Bernard with Morris4x4

 

Yep! Started yesterday and goes until June 30, 2015.

Mounted the Evolution Competition on my 2 Door. It wasn't too bad of an install. I did have to cut the middle pipe down a bit. Only thing im concerned about is the heat next to the EVAP canister or whatever it is, what do you think? I also think I might cut down the exhaust tail pipe to give the hanger isolator a better fit.

Overall, it sounds a lot deeper and definitely gives a better throttle response. We will see what it sounds like after the break in period.

 

I had the model that dumped out before the axle, it was a little loud for me with the hard top on. I bought the pipe that dumps it out past the axle, sound much better and quitter in the cab. This was on a 2 door.

 

With all the talk about the pipes dumping before the rear, I thought exhuast pipes by Fed law required them to exhiast out past the rear passanger seat or at least out the sides of the vehicle, no?
