+1 for aftermarket exhausts being fine on a Tremor. I just installed the Bold Performance one on mine. Everything lines up perfectly. I'm sure MBRP is no different.

asking out of curiosity, why the spring swap out? Towing, Load Capacity, other?I switched out my stock leafs for Tremor leafs and I can say with certainty that there is nothing different underneath that would interfere with an exhaust system.
Improved ride is the main reason. Combined with the Bilsteins it is much improved over stock FX4.asking out of curiosity, why the spring swap out? Towing, Load Capacity, other?
Thanks because I saw you did 5100’s like I did and I too have the FX4. Are you considering something like the Helwig sway bar?Improved ride is the main reason. Combined with the Bilsteins it is much improved over stock FX4.
The Tremor leafs also flex better than the mono leaf.
I'm 100% happy with my current setup and don't think I'll be changing anything.Thanks because I saw you did 5100’s like I did and I too have the FX4. Are you considering something like the Helwig sway bar?
One last question, did you find them as take offs or ordered? Ok, a follow up Mr President, if you bought oem, happen to have the part number? ThanksI'm 100% happy with my current setup and don't think I'll be changing anything.
I don't feel I need the Helwig.
The only thing I might consider is SumoSprings if I ever start towing or hauling regularly.
I bought them from a member here on the site who upgraded his entire suspension to OME.One last question, did you find them as take offs or ordered? Ok, a follow up Mr President, if you bought oem, happen to have the part number? Thanks
If you're really happy with the MBRP exhaust, something to consider is installing a aftermarket Resonator like a Vibrant Ultra Quiet 3" as close to the cat as possible or anywhere you can fit it before the muffler. It Should tone things down without restriction.Got the exhaust on. One thing to note that didn't stand out to me, or my installer, for some reason. BUT, by default, the MBRP 3" single-exit exhaust setup is meant to pair with the STOCK downpipe, NOT a 3" downpipe. Or, at least, a downpipe with a 2.5" out.
My SPD was 3" all the way, so my installer had to cut off a couple of inches and weld on another 3" piece to get it fitting perfectly.
As far as my initial impression - it's loud. Maybe a lot more with the 3" downpipe. But, it seems like there's a fair amount of drone at 70-80mph. :/ Not sure I'm happy with it, but going to give it a few more weeks before I decide.
Running around town, it's fine. Sounds good on acceleration, then quiets out while cruising. It's just the higher RPM speeds that seems to cause it to drone and kind of drown out the nice stereo.
Did it raise rise height in rear? Or make any issues with drive shaft angle vibrationS?I switched out my stock leafs for Tremor leafs and I can say with certainty that there is nothing different underneath that would interfere with an exhaust system.
