I've had my 2000 Dakota for about a week now and the mod bug has already hit.

I've quickly realized the 4.7 (even in stock form) has a nice and mellow tone to it. I've always thought pickups look great with a dual exhaust system and I wanted something with a bit of a rumble.

Not looking to spend a lot of money (this is an extra 3rd vehicle around the house), I more or less looked for the cheapest stainless steel exhaust system I could find. I put a non stainless system on my last truck (Ranger) which literally rotted away after only 3 Michigan winters, so stainless was a must.

I found the Mandrel Bending Solutions (MBS) systems online for only about $200 non stainless and $300 in 409SS.

While muttering something to myself about "getting what you pay for", I closed my eyes and took a chance on the cheap option.

Honestly, my expectations were more than met. The system was well packed and showed up just a few days later. It looks fine and fitment was great. The tone is exactly what I wanted, something low key at idle - mellow at part throttle - and some bark at full throttle. When cruising steady, it's near silent in the cab. The video makes it seem louder than it is inside the truck.

Overall, :i con_eddie:

Enjoy the video. The next one will probably be blasting through 3'+ deep snowdrifts.

Thanks for the warm welcome man, I appreciate it. I'll check out your vids too.

Yep! Almost all the footage is from a GoPro HD hero. It's a tough little bastard, I had one fall off a car at highway speeds. No problem at all.

Use it with the open back to get the most exhaust sound.

 

Sounds awesome man cool vid. I want a go pro so bad but dont wanna spend like 400 on one lol

My buddy goes to ebay and gets like 20.00 used cameras and rigs his up on his jeep when he goes 4 wheeling most work for awhile till they fall off and he runs them over haha
