OOooo, M1 2 barrel. Those are rarer than hens teeth. In fact, they make them look downright common. That, in and of itself, is like worth north of 700 bucks. Not the best for bottom end torque though.

 

I think the previous owner bought it many many years ago. Its brand new and has collected dirt as you can see from the picture. Do they make decent power after installed? Truck has ceramic coated headers installed, No cat-back yet, I need to purchase that as well.

 

I have the opportunity to buy this exhaust system for a steal of a price....can someone why it doesn't list the 2002 ? is that because the 2002 1500 is a different body style than the 2500?

 

2002 1500 is Third Gen, 2500/3500 didn't switch to the new body style till 2003. So no, likely won't fit.

 

mine is a 2002 2500, that's why I thought it should fit. If it fits a 2001 2500, then i would be curious what was different about the 2002 2500 because they are both second gens?

 

Yes, the exhaust will fit. But I sure wouldn't get it with that honking muffler on there.

I thought we were talking suspensions? ??

 

Bah, read that wrong.

So far as I know, nothing changed on the 2500 from 01 to 02. Likely just the manufacturer didn't account for the heavier trucks being carried over for a year.

 

Yes, we are. Just thought it was easier to post it here instead of making an entire new thread....i got my answer about it...back to suspension. LOL

 

Alright I was in a similar spot. Bought a truck, 2500 v10 in my sig, with a 4" suspension and 3" body lift. It had 38s on it. I took out the body lift and 35s clear very easy. I suspect with a bumper trim or higher clearance bumper and some adjustable short arms (which are available through a few sources or in a good kit) 37s would fit easy on a good 5" or tight on my old 4" kit.

As for the M1 don't do it, single planes kill bottom end. I even noticed a loss in torque going to a dual plane on a 5.9 1500 with stock tires. Look for things that can boost bottom end like long tubes and some kegger intake work, maybe even a cam or 1.7 rockers.

Best thing to do power wise is definitely re-gear. 3.54s are terrible with a 5.9, I didn't even like them on my stock tire 1500. 4.56 for 35s or 4.88s for 37s or 4.88s if you want to tow like a 2500 with 35s.
