Dodge Dakota With Magnaflow Exhaust (Computer Generated)

[aircruiserxj]

Where did you get the dodge logo for the slider window?

[lawnmowerTim]

gotta get those exhaust bearings looked at

[0dodokaRt]

i have the 4.7 v8 dodge dakota 2002 and i get bout 8 to 12 mpg with 20s n 3.55 gears its fast but shitty gas mileage

[nojunkorspam]

@AmericanMuscleV8 - When I bought mine the original owner went 90K miles on the original plugs. I swapped them out for the fancy double-tipped platinum things and my mileage actually went down about 2mpg.

[aaminjoshi91]

I cant find a magnaflow 70 series muffler dude. searched online. do you know what its called exactly?

[prostreetrocks]

One tip = fail 

[snakesonaplane2]

@prostreetrocks only one because it's single exhaust, which on a truck is anything but fail

[sox288]

@HEFNERLCC my 4.7 gets 15-17...I mostly drive on on open highway, barley ever go in the city

[sox288]

my 4.7 gets around 15-16 with k&n cia and gibson exhaust

[SHEEK905]

fuckin' beauty... can't wait to do this to my 01 4x4.

[TheTalkofTheTown06]

Just bought a Magnaflow muffler for my '02 4.7L Dakota, this video is pure torture in my wait to get it installed.

Sounds good!

[aaminjoshi91]

"i gained 42hp by putting drag radials on...then another 57 with injectors then 23 with fuel pump....then i woke up and realized i was a fucking dumbass"

Saw someone say this on a forum and thought it was super funny!

Nice truck i got a 4.7l as well check it out!

[vegaboy76]

@aaminjoshi91 oh dang that is good, that is really good.

[aaminjoshi91]

@vegaboy76 That quote right? I know i just thought iwas funny lol i was lookin up some things about flowmasters since thats what i have and i saw someone say dual flows gave someone 27 horse! And that is what someone had to say about it lol! How much did them magnaflows run you? and did you get a high flow cat as well? when you get time check my vids man!

[immposter]

@aaminjoshi91 I checked out your truck sounds freakin awesome and the rims looks great, I am going to paint mine as well...is that gunmetal black?

[aaminjoshi91]

@immposter No its just regular gloss black. i used rustoleum protective enamel paint not wheel paint. Just get something that is heat and chip resistant or actual wheel coating. Also makes sure you clean the rim really well, then sand them with 400 grit sand paper then clean them again before painting.

[immposter]

@aaminjoshi91 Well it looks awesome I am putting my truck completly black tail lights, truck, rims, windows, except I might put a magnum stripe across the rearend like the factory ones in silver along with the words Dakota. And now possibly a glass pack!!

[aaminjoshi91]

@immposter That'll look sick man! and yeah glasspacks get loud if i were you i would get an 18 inch glasspack. don't go 12 inch or it'll be damn near straight pipe loud! Unless you want it that loud lol! Good luck man!

[Canuckcrisis]

I avg 21mpg City/Highway

High as 26mpg highway

Lowest was 9.9mpg when I drive like its stolen

2004 Dakota Quad Cab 4.7L 4x4 no mods

[immposter]

Dude I am so getting that muffler for my Dakota it sounds awesome, do you have anymore vids of your truck. I have a 2000 quad cab with the SOHC 4.7 litre like yours.

[cmcozad54]

the rearends are different depending on the transmission you have & if its a v-8 or not. My 2002 r/t with the 5.9 & 727 tourque flight gets yes around 10 city & 14-15 highway. I also have 3.92 rear diff, the 3.55 that comes with most the 4.7's should get a bit better gas than my truck.

[plipsman]

Are you ever going to post a new video with a better camera like you said you would?

Also, have you done any more work on it since this video?

[HEFNERLCC]

What kind of mileage does these trucks get?

I want to get one but people say that you will only get 12 mpg highway and 8 city?

Is this correct?

I really want one of these but not if the mpg is that shitty.

let me know thanks

trevor

[vegaboy76]

@HEFNERLCC My old man averages 20-22 in the city and 26-27 on the highway so where ever your getting this info it is false, well actually that might be the other gear ratio offered. His truck has the ratio for better acceleration. So what ever you do just get the right ratio.

[theempyr1]

@vegaboy76  it all depends for pretty much everything, what size Wheels, if its the v8 or v6, the ratio/compression. it gets really complicated. i have a Dakota 2wd lifted with 35 inch tiers and with and exaust but it probly gets 8mpg city at best, keep in mind i am a guy and push the pedal, but if its for street 20mpg is about adverage.

[psykho15]

@vegaboy76 ok i have the same concern at this dude i want a 4.7 and decent mpg... what would be a good rear end 4 gas mileage?? and im already kinda leary about it cuz i had a 3.9 v6 and only got bout 15 :/ grant it i had 173,000 but still

[TARDISvision]

@psykho15 you had something wrong with that truck, or you got a lead foot. my 3.9 gets about 19-21mpg gighway and has 105, 000

[psykho15]

@TARDISvision thats 70,000 miles less tho....idk dude i really didnt drive it that hard...i put new 02 sensors air filter and plugs

[semigoodproductions]

@HEFNERLCC mine gets about 12 around town and 18 highway.

[immposter]

@HEFNERLCC I get anywhere from 15 to 22 it all depends on how you drive. I have the 4.7 v8 quad cab. I even have 3:55 gearing with possie, nice truck. "4x4" A tank of fuel last me a week I am always on the highway.

[THEFERMANATOR]

@HEFNERLCC

I had a 2000 4X4 with the 4.7L and 3.55 gears in it with the tow package automatic and all of the goodies. I averaged about 14-16 for mixed daily driving. Before E-10 fuel it would get 22 pretty consistently running 60-65 highway, after it would get 17-18. Around town was only about 13-14, but the 3.92 gears did better around town. Towing was it's downfall though as even a small trailer would just about drop it in half with the 3.55 gears. Wish it would have had 3.92 gears.

[semigoodproductions]

@HEFNERLCC i get about 16 city and 18 highway with my 4.7

[911SHIZBO]

@HEFNERLCC You probably herd that for the 5.2 or 5.9ltrs. The 4.7 (as seen here) is much better for fuel mileage .

[krdmeeks]

@HEFNERLCC i have a 2002 dodge dakota sport with the 4.7 v8 and its 4wd and i avereage like 17-20 city and 10-14 if im racing it alot. if your getting 8 city then you got some issues you your truck my friend my dads ram with a hemi doesnt even get that

[rambosambo95]

@HEFNERLCC I get 12 city and 17 highway

[highflyingfish95]

@rambosambo95 Same with my 98'

[coreyjones77]

hello i was also wondering if your truck just has the muffler on it or does it have the whole system like they sell on ebay also are you running the stock cat ?

[AOAWHATSUP]

dads got a 2000 dodge dakota sport and he was thinking about getting that

[cod4machine]

Is all you did to it was just change the muffler cause? if so DAMN that sounds badass..I was wondering cuz then i was just gona do it 2 my truck too...thanks

[1961pontiac]

man that actually sounds fuckin beeeefy

[vegaboy76]

I will be re posting this video in the spring with a better camera so then people can really hear it

[hefnerstar33]

Can anyone tell me if buying a 2005 dodge dakota 4x4 with 28k on a good idea?

I have heard alot about dodge and am hearing some bad things?

Are these things true like the tranny and motor and other problems arise fast?

[vegaboy76]

I've heard good and bad, with this one it now has about 75.000 miles on it and its a 2000, we have had one thing go wrong with it and that was a coil over plug go bad, transmission still shifts like new. as far as the newer ones go i believe they are just fine. you are prob just hearing rumors from the dodge early years. I would go for it if it were me though but that is my opinion

[perron9981]

it does matter who you talk to about any truck someone will always have bad things to say about them. My Dad had a 1990 dodge with 600k on it when he sold it, still original eng n trans, it all depends on how u take care of your truck.

[AvonAttack08]

Do you remember anything about it being like a big block 70 series muffler?

[AvonAttack08]

alright thanks, cause i called a local muffler shop yesterday and they said they could order me one for 180, and i was like that sounds a little expensive haha

[AvonAttack08]

Ok, could you tell me anything else about it? cause i love the sound of it and the rumble during idle

[vegaboy76]

I guess all i can tell you is that the muffler was bought off ebay and it was considered a Magnaflow Series 70 muffler from which im told from a few people cant be found anymore but im sure there is one out there somewhere,it cost aroun 80 bucks i think and the rest of the exhaust is bone stock, i do have a resonated tip that i put on there to really bring out the sound sometimes but thats about it. Im gonna try soon to get a better quality video up,this cam doesnt catch it at all well.

[AvonAttack08]

where did you get the muffler?

[vegaboy76]

@AvonAttack08 Got it on ebay forget how much i paid for it

[scarfacethx]

No power? I'm amazed the tires hooked up. My 4.7 is a one wheeler peeler.

It's not a drag queen, but it'll get up and go.

[vegaboy76]

combination of good tires and this has the better rear end of the two or three that are available

[mag2395]

dakota sport?

[vegaboy76]

yep def a sport

[ps3bapekill1]

that bitch took off.

[X2N18]

yeah those lil trucks runs fast imagine a 5.9 instead ; P way awesome!

[carfreak59750]

well the 5.9 has alot more torque but i think overall the 4.7 is better, mainly cuz its more technologically advanced. it is faster and higher revving, i think hyper is a good word.

[X2N18]

Yeah but the 5.9 i can have more Choice for jap cars if you build it well of course lol : P

[bluetoaster8822]

4.7L is a great engine. :) Probably the most efficient V8 from that generation, next to the 408 Stroker.

[zachstreich]

or where else could i find it

[vegaboy76]

I tried looking for the muffler i cant seem find it either, you might have to study up on it and see if you can find the equivelant

[zachstreich]

i cant find it on ebay are you sure its called the magnaflow 70 series

[hemipower61]

Got a nice sound to it!

[zachstreich]

where you get it?

[PanzerAce88mm]

This video helped me talk myself into driving to summit and slapping a magnaflow 3in on my dakota. this is actually the video on magnaflow's website for the dakota cat-back. i go a 5-speed so it sounds a little differnt but nice none-the-less.

[FreddyFog150]

Hey I posted a video of my Dakota and my dad's Ram with out cat-back exhaust systems.

[FreddyFog150]

Whoops i meant with OUR cat-back exhaust systems.

[ndubb1]

there's two different 70 mufflers which one is this?

[BigE285]

Nice sound, I have the same exhaust only with dual pipes so its much more amplified.

[PanzerAce88mm]

did you listen to your truck without a muffler in the process of swapping exhausts? my dakota with the 4.7 sounded bad ass. but the local cops woulden't like it. haha.

[am9803]

nice, i got a 02 5.9 dakota r/t

[PanzerAce88mm]

I have told myself the only way i will trade in my current Dakota is if i find an R/T dakota for sale. the only thing i dont like about the R/Ts is they didn't make any with manual transmissions and a manual tranny makes a vehicle a true hotrod. but the 360ci under the hood makes up the difference.

[bigmike97dak]

5.9s are over rated. Why do you think you need a 5.9? Do you have plans to stroke and bore to a 6.7? that is such an over rated route to run with that engine. No offence but get on the dakota forums and read how guys are dissapointed that a 6.7 with blower or turbo is still havin issues reachin 10's in the 1/4 mile. Your best bet is to keep your truck and do a 5.7 hemi or 6.1 hemi swap dont waste your time and money on cave man technology. IMO...

[PanzerAce88mm]

if i ever do an engine swap on my truck. im going diesel or a 5.9L. because why buy a hemi crate and put it in a dakota. when i could go down to the dodge dealership and trade my dakota in and put a down payment on an R/T challanger or something of that nature. no...the 5.9L is a very reliable engine and has good torque output. and is still a big engine for a compact truck. and no, i woulden't bore it out. i would probably leave it stock. maybe have the heads done and headers.

[bigmike97dak]

maybe i came off wrong dodge motors as the 4.7 5.2 5.9 are very reliable and torqe yada yada. But your not gunna see high horse power with ease like a 4.6. Im sorry if i came off wrong but dakota motors are not high out put engines thats all i was saying.

[wink2873]

most of their problems are with traction and finding a good tune. The 360/408 are capable of 600 horsepower with the stock block. Anything more and you will have to have the block strengthened or find an R3 block. Just because the 4.7 uses a DOHC design doesnt mean its advanced in any way. Anyone who builds big power engines will tell you, theres no replacement for displacement, and thats a fact.

[bigmike97dak]

SOHC not DOHC. The point im trying to make is this, you can spend money on a 5.2, 5.9, 4.7. But it is never gunna beat a 4.6 32 valve cobra or mach one motor charger or not. All I would like to see is motor swaps in dakotas to get more power tires of seeing a 10k dollar build list just to get 600 hp. Just my opinion.

[garrittpwl]

the 4.7 is SOHC not DOHC just for your info. and its a dog too; no power what so ever.

[ps3bapekill1]

d is close to the s

[BeboAltizer]

which engine is more powerful and is easier to upgrade and find parts for the 4.7 or 5.2?

[bigmike97dak]

technically the 4.7 should be easier to me. You gotta figure the 5.2 has been around a long time and is caveman technology and not a high output engine. You can turbo and supercharge both but after you drop cash into the motors youl ask yourself would it have been easier to do a engine swap.... turbo kit 6k easy... crate motor is about that price. hope this helped a little.

[BeboAltizer]

yeah, this really did help. if for the price of a forced induction system i can buy a whole new engine, i will just replace it with a 5.7 hemi

[bigmike97dak]

exactly my thinking head over to precisionengine and take a look at the mopar power you see

[BeboAltizer]

thanks, they have good prices too.

[PanzerAce88mm]

the 318(5.2L) was in dakotas before the 287(4.7L). i got a 4.7L. but in the aftermarket world. the 318 has more potential as the 318 block has powered MOPARS since the good old days. i have a 318 also but its in a 79 power wagon.

[coolnatt]

was that my dad driving?? lol he drives fast.. he has a 1999 black dakota... pretty awesome ride!

[spitfires3864]

sounds really good

[burroweiser]

sounds pretty good dude.Where I can get that Magna Flow exhausts?

[vegaboy76]

I got mine of ebay for 70 bucks with free shipping

[94EglVisionTSI]

Sounds nice, better than my Flowmaster 4.7

[vegaboy76]

Actually this exhaust is not that loud at all, its a cheap camera and it makes it sound really loud.

[FreddyFog150]

Love the sound of your Dakota man. I was thinking about modding mine too. My dad has a Ram 1500 with a 4.7 liter engine and he got (for the most part) the same mod you did. Even he says that the sound this muffler set makes fits the truck better. I have to scrounge up some cash and make my truck sound this sweet.

[54spiritedwill54]

nice :)

[pitbullhottie01]

Yo!! i got a 97 Dakota none sport with a 4.0 v6 i got a flow tech muffler and it ain't bad at all only cost around 22$ for the muffler and 5 buck to have a pipe made for it and tips blow so it would fit all in all 35.77 total cost

[martinlutherking3210]

im thinkin bout getin an exuast 4 my dakota

how much u pay 4 that???

[vegaboy76]

I dont remember any more what I paid for it. It wasnt much but then again all it is is a magnaflow series 70 muffler, everything else is stock

[sacrichboy]

do you still have the cat in it?

[vegaboy76]

yes i do every thing is stock except the muffler

[whitmore95]

scarface.. 405 hp isnt that much.. my tbss has 400 stock how is his not street legal?

[NomisDesign]

He was probably talking about how loud the truck is. "you can hear it from a mile away"

[456852369741]

what type of magnaflow muffler is that?

[tinytim69us]

What kinda setup is that exactly??

[vegaboy76]

Actually everthing is stock I just stuck a Magnaflow Series 70 muffler on there

[Palmt2]

Magnaflow all the way, Sweet truck too.

[kjwdis]

whats cats

[dustinmcclelland15]

Is that your truck?

[vegaboy76]

Nope its my old mans I stuck the muffler on there for his b day

[dustinmcclelland15]

Oh, i was wondering because I want one lol. I have a dakota and that sounds bad ass man.

[FordF350Baby]

respectable, not bad, could be a tad louder

[scarface115]

your truck sounds mad nice man. my bro has a 2002 r/t, but his has more of a muscle car sound but it is mad loud. he has about 405 hp and you can hear him from like a mile away. its not street legal but popo doesnt really care lol.

[countryboy017]

i just got my cats replaced jackass

[phuckmerunnin06]

yea i looked under mine. and she has 3 fuckin cats. never seen any shit like that in my life, i went to advance and got me a $25 glasspack and two muffler clamps replaced the big ass stock muffler with it. sounds pretty good and is affordable as hell. i can post a vid of it if anybody cares to hear it, if anybody is thinkin of doing that, i think mine was well worth it and it sounds mean.

[vegaboy76]

yea post it id like to here it

[AdDd45]

nice :)

[vegaboy76]

are you really that fucking numb nutted, u might as well go shoot urself, it's dumb asses like you that give the human race a bad fuck fuckin crist

[phuckmerunnin06]

sounds good there. i just put a glass pack my 4.7 and it made a big diffrence and sounds mean as a bitch. tommorow imma take a water hose and blow it out so it will sound better.

[novadak]

trucks DO have cats.

[xj9687]

sounds good its really deep i hope mine gets that deep once the new cats on it

[vanillasoldier]

just take the cats off
