Brian Keselowski’s Vintage Dodge Ram NASCAR Truck Resurrection! Reunited After 18 Years

What happens here

The current Power Stroke exhaust system is an X-pipe design taken from a Yates Super Speedway car, discovered in a trailer at SRI. The owner details the process of cutting, reshaping, and modifying these parts to fit the truck, emphasizing the time-consuming but achievable nature of such custom work. The focus was on achieving a distinctive 'Indy car' sound rather than strict aerodynamic benefits.

Goal: Install a custom X-pipe exhaust system for distinctive sound and fit.

Tools and materials

  • Cutting tools — Modifying exhaust pipes
  • Welding equipment — Assembling exhaust components
  • X-pipe exhaust — Custom exhaust system

What they say

crazy. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. And I wanted to ask you about your uh exhaust system there. I was seen your post about that on >> so the exhaust systems off of a Penske car. It's something I found in the back like trailers at SRI and I I kind of had a feeling that they might have some stuff up there and what I really really wanted was an Xpipe. >> Mhm. >> Because back then you could run anything you wanted, right? And this truck had brackets to go on both sides so you could do anything. And Dr. Gas system has been out of business for years. So the original stuff that they built like on the fourc car and all that that guy has been gone for years now. But um really when the coot car came that put pretty much put them out of business because they didn't allow them to run that stuff anymore. But some team started building their own. This I think is around an 06 Pensky maybe super speedway pipes or something. It definitely is Penske cuz it had their numbers on it. When it came to me it was pretty nasty. It was very rusty. the the uh the pipes on the outside had been cut to try to follow the frame rails, so they weren't going to fit anything, but it had a good base. So, I cut it all up and just kept cutting until I could get things where I wanted them and just threw away the uh the boom tube part of it. And uh all the rest of it though, I reshaped it and got it to fit up under there and then made my own boom tubes, which really was it's timeconuming, but it wasn't that difficult to do. So, >> it looks great. But, uh, >> just went and got some material over at SRRI and started putting together, drilling holes and making everything fit. And it was the biggest thing. I wanted it to fit, but I wanted the sound of an Xpipe cuz they sound different. >> Yeah. >> It just has a a whole different tune to it.
