Hey Ya'll,
I was wondering if any ya'll had used or heard reviews of the AFE Large Bore Exhaust kit. It's running for $383 on autoanything and I've been looking to upgrade my exhaust. It's 4", turbo back piping with their muffler. I know that piping is piping, but mufflers can be very different it tone, flow, etc. Thanks for the help.

for the same cost just add shiping you can get 5 from jeg's
sounds deep and whooshy

Go with the 5". it sounds way better than a 4". The tone is a DEEP sound and it will be fairly mello if you run a straight thru muffler.

Thanks for the advise. I've heard that 5" exhaust is only for HP levels over 400; below that and you will lose power at lower RPM, which is where I drive.

Right now I have the AEM intake with a ram-air hood, and I plan on purchasing the Edge Evolution for my rig. This combo with an exhaust would only put me at around 350HP. Do you think that's a problem?

Probably not, you should love your tuner on it, and I would think that you will do other stuff another time. If you romp on it, (and I think you probably will), you won't notice the difference between the two different diameter exhausts. I ran the 5" on my other truck with a hypertech programmer only, and it moved out. My friend had a 4" at the time with the same tuner, and mine was faster and sounded WAY better.

just my .02

Mmmm... I do like romping on it. Thanks John.

For those that run the 5" Summit, how did the move from stock-5" or 4"-5" effect EGTs? Also how is the fit and finish? I have heard mixed results on fit and finish. I have been looking at the 5" for added EGT drops when towing heavy.

350 hp?? where are u getting these numbers?? What year truck and what other mods do u have that makes u think u will get 350?

I don't know how the summit or Jeg's system fits. I was working at Midas at the time I put mine on. It is an IMCO system with a Donaldson muffler with the baffle knocked out. I think it fits better than most 4" systems, and is quieter than the stock pipe without the muffler. It doesn't have the "bark" of the smaller pipe, only a clean and deep note. As far as the EGT's with the larger system, I put the gauges on at the same time as the chip, inj's, and turbo, so I don't know how your truck will read. It will be cooler though. Usually you will get a 4" dp that the mid section goes to 5" and then the rest of the midsection from the passenger's feet the rest of the way back is 5".

Hope that helps.

I just purchased th jegs 5" kit, so we will see. I am excited to see that monster pipe. The package weighs 91lbs and the whole thing cost $420. Now I just hope it performs and sounds as good as the deal was I got. But based off of all ya'lls reviews, that doesn't seem to be a problem.

After looking at both I have to wonder if the Jeg's and Summit exhaust systems are made by the same company. Anyone know?
