2.5" collector ramhorns on 2wd?
Drove the truck to work today and I think it's still leaking. Sooooo... it's ramhorns for me. Anyone used these on their truck: http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Smooth...Raw,94194.html
They're 2.5" collector and dump straight down. My truck is 2wd, and my exhaust guy tells me to get these. How tight is the collector to the motor mount and starter? Looks like it would be a tight fit. Anyone who has used these, any thoughts? Probably going to get them tomorrow if I do. Any feedback appreciated. |

I used some stock 2.5 from a car several yrs ago. I used a starter from 90 Chevy truck and had a good exhaust guy. Starter is shorter and smaller diameter. Mini starter would be even better. Jmo.

Re: 2.5" collector ramhorns on 2wd?
Pulled off the leaking headers and put on these same 2.5" straight dump rams horn exhaust manifolds (went with the silver ceramic coated through Classic Industries, but they are the same product). It is a tight fit, but they do have enough clearance. I am very happy I made the switch (with the help/advice of several members on this site).

Unfortunately I don't have any other pictures on the passenger side. There is more room on the passenger side motor mount, but I also have a mini starter.
