We had a 580 Case tractor-backhoe with a straight pipe up through the hood, was so loud that you could hear it 1/2 a mile away on a calm day. And this was only on a little 188 nonturbo engine!!

I have been driving a 1997 Dodge 2500 W/ Cummins, 5spd. since 1997. I removed the muffler in 1998, not too loud, I gained 4MPG and it sounds great! There are Shorty mufflers or a Resonator that can be installed in an M818 instead of original muffler at a much cheaper price, like $36.00. A Cummins with a LONG strait pipe sounds great, as long as it is Behind you. I make my Stacks from used Drive shafts. Solid material, and easy to weld. Phil

IMO, to lower egt's effectively you must increase the flow in and out of the engine. Make a more open intake, or more efficient intake with a larger exhaust from the (in this case) the header back. I don't know what the stock is on a 5 ton, but maybe a 4" or 5" with a high performance muffler. I wonder if you could even fit a Hushpower in there.
