Here is what I did with my exhaust system, there is another one on the other side, in the same location. I ran all new from the turbo and used a y-pipe to slit the system up. The exhaust used to have a low droning noise that came up into the sleeper,...now I have to touch my wall to see if I can feel the engine run.When I first went out the exhaust was a single muffler that ran up the side of the cab on the pass. side
. It was very, very loud, so I moved it to here.
The genset is in a box from Zamzow, I insulated it and placed this genset inside the box. The exhaust system is insulated and the large fan in the left side of the box takes the hot air out of the box and keeps it at 145 degrees.
The electrical components are all easy to get to, as well as the coolant pump and the belt tension pulley.
This is the complete unit. I have finally been able to use it for an entire day. I'll be testing it again tomorrow, but as of now it is working better than it ever has.
This is the muffler, it's all the way in the back,I looped a resonater and a muffler, welded them together and it is very quiet, but still has great flow.
The tailpipe runs up inside the frame , under the fifthwheel and out. The intake runs up under the hood of the truck.
These are the six deep cycle batteries that are kept charged by the solar during the day, the truck engine while I drive, and the genset.
