Josh, I think I may have found something y'all DONT make...

Or maybe I just didn't find it.

You were my Obie-wan Kenobie, man. I went through your pickup and medium duty catalog and didn't find what I was looking for.

"You may say that I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one, I hope some day that you'll make this, so my exhaust doesn't need to exit as one."

To continue my copyright infringement, a competitor makes something that looks like this:

I want something like that with a 5" inlet that splits to dual four inch outlets, please.

Did I miss it?

Lemmie know, Man.

Josh sat down at his desk this morning hoping for a nice easy day while he listened to Rebecca Black, Carly Jepsen and me hossing the gas on him repeatedly.

That's all out the window now. Good job Amish!!

Buddy...I wish I could say I make these all day long. However that is not the case. As much as I try to push what the end users want, I have been met with some resistance. I'm fairly sure we can build such a beast, probably not in 304 yet, but it will be an Aluminized 409.

I'm truely trying to push more...and better products for the end users, and also offer more "Freedom" in creating custom exhaust options while keeping the cost to a minimum...which we all know is difficult to do sometimes here state side...

I will say this much...if there is ANYTHING you think would be an item that would sell well...or an item others have not been able to produce...I encourage emails to me joshuas@grandrock.com, or sales@grandrock.com requesting them. The only way I will be able to show them there are demands like this in this industry is through visible demands. The more emails I get the better. I print them out, and I present them to the owner of the company, and the upper managment.

Thanks for the request, and I will see if there is anything I can do to make this dream of yours a reality!

As long as it's about products that would like to be seen...yes...
As long as it's about ways to improve current products...yes...
If it's about random BS things...get my personal email...

Gotcha. I think that would look pretty cool with the dual fours.

Dual three's flow more than a single 4". Should be good to around 800 hp worth of exhaust flow.

Dude, you almost sound a little defensive. No need, brotha. My day job has familiarized me with the plight faced by anyone manufacturing in the USA; I know its challenging.

That said, you have nothing to defend. I was impressed with the depth and breadth of your product offerings... I swear I looked at over 500 pages of catalogs. Y'all make some weird chit. I just wondered if I missed it.

The basis behind this request may not be that applicable here, as many couldn't give a rats ass about dual exhaust given the added weight. I bought mine back in '04 when, I believe, Silverline was the only game in town making stainless dual exhaust for diesel trucks. I spend the extra coin for it because up until that point, I had only seen 1 other diesel truck with dual exhaust.

Fast forward 8 years, now they're everywhere. My intent is to keep my Silverline dual OTA pipes, but instead of necking down to 4" after my 5" down pipe, I want to run 5" through the muffler then split to my 4"duals.

I guess triple guys could turn the thing around and take 2 4" S300 discharges and combine them into 1 five inch cat back system too.

How about an IC pipe to run a 3rd Gen turbo on a 2nd Gen? Any interest there?

3" bent similar to this:

Sorry if I sounded a bit defensive. Really I wasn't, I just wanted to vent a little at the same time answer your question I guess. I am serious regarding products you'd like to see offered though...feed them to me and I'll present them!

You know...been asked a couple times regarding these. I think if we do air to air we should be ok. Our 304SS bending abilities are not there as of yet, so we would have to use our standard mild steel or 409 Aluminized stainless steel tubing.

Factory tubing is mild steel, right? I'd think that would be fine.

Possible. I've never had a factory one in my hands to see. It could be a mild steel or a low grade stainless. I've made a set of custom ones for a local pulling truck we sponsored, and they were mild steel he had coated blue to match the color on the truck.
