Dual exhaust on a 96 kenworth t 600 side of cab

Seeing as a W900 and T800 has the same cab I'd eyeball a few of them to see how they are done .. Just a idea

 

kenworths use a frame mounted bracket that supports the bottom of the stack and then the top mount is a bushing on the pin that supports the stack from moving away from the frame but allows the cab to move up and down independantly.

peterbiults use the stacks mounted solid to the cab and a peice of flex underneath. but the newer petes (388-389's) use a setup more similar to the kw stack mounts.

 

Never seen a t-600 with gas tanks before

 

I have, they usually hold about 9,000 gallons.

 

the majority of kenworths that are equipt with stacks have the rear mounted stacks with the front mounted battery/tool box steps and the exhaust runs between the two. i did find one picture of a forward mounted tank kw with stacks apears to be using more of a freightliner setup. stacks mounted to the cab with a under the cab over the frame exhaust system.


flex pipe always seems to need to be replaced more frequently the longer the run of flex the more movement it can take.

the kw frame bracket setup inst perfect either the elbows tend to crack at the bottom and i have seen the top bushing mount fail as well.

 

Make sure you use stainless flex pipe ,it lasts way longer than the galvanized and chrome band clamps. That way there won't be any rust streaks!

 

I've got a 94 t600 set up the way you want it to go, here's a detail of the top mount bracket

To be fair I have seen exactly 2 kw t600s set up this way in the year and a bit I've had her, and one is my truck
second the ss thing, do NOT let kenworth get your sleeves or flex pipe, they gave me galv when I explicitly requested ss, when I told them it was galv, (magnet test) they said ss was lightly magnetic ( it is, but a magnet doesn't grab ss the way this did) I even showed them where on package it said galv, they wouldn't admit mistake
