New exhaust on 06,V8
Hi fellow drivers, its been a while since i have been on here. I have an
06 Dakota with an AEM Brute Force intake with a K&N air filter. Now I want to change the
exhaust. I dont care if it is loader, I'm looking for more power. From
what I have read on here the dull Striaght out the back doesn't help out with
our trucks, is this so. If so what is the best setup for the exhaust to get
more power.
I plan to go 2 inch

I went with a split rear for the dual. I think the only difference between a split rear and a straight is the noise level. The split rear will be a little louder since it comes out of the sides, where the straight will make the noise come out the rear where you really can't hear it.

Well, I felt a difference on take off. I was able to actually spin my tires on wet pavement (I have an AWD system), so yeah there was probably a gain of 10-15 lbs of tq.
Check into the throttlebody too. you'll feel a gain of about 10/10 hp/tq and it's a cheap mod too. If you do that, go to Fastman.com. He's good and inexpensive.

I had all the factory stuff behind the y-pipe removed and went with a Cherry Bomb Vortex muffler and a Hooker Headers dual tip exiting before the passenger rear tire. All said and done cost me less than $150 for everything and install (Local shop gave me a discount for being a good customer) I noticed a bit of a performance difference but with the stock intake still cramping everything up not too much yet. Sounds great, volume level similar to a Flow 40 maybe a bit louder but a little bit deeper. I like it because it's a more distinctive sound and just about everyone around me is running flow 40's so it makes my truck stand out a little.
