Post True dual straight pipes

I have a 1997 dodge ram 1500. It has a 5.9L V8 Magnum Big block in it. I wanted to know if it was possible to put true dual straight pipes under it? If you can does anyone know where to buy them or are they custom made only?

Yep, the 5.9 magnum is actually a small block and yes you can absolutely put in true duals, you just gotta come up with more $$$

thanks on that guys but about the big block part im only 15 but i just got the truck from my step dad and he bought it from his buddy so he might have put a different engine into it because he said it was a big block but anyways idk too much lol i just want it to sound as loud or even louder as a nascar =] oh and is it alright to pressure wash the engine? not getting too close of course.

Big blocks are 383, 413, 426, and 440. (and wasn't there a 400 at one time? or I am delusional, again??)

You sir are not delusional....there was at one time a 400 Big Block. I had one in my old '72 Charger. Ran like the beast it was.

I had one in my first truck, a 1977 Power Wagon. And I agree it was an animal.

That sure ain't stock... last production of the 361 B engine was in 1966. If it has the kegger sitting on top, it is not a big block. It is the average run of the mill 360 magnum engine. I am not even sure if the B engine would bolt to the stock trans either.

Got Pics?
