extending 07 RTX to 136"

[apexrtx10]

I'm planning on extending my 07 RTX to 136" I have the rear heat exchanger on the sled, do I need to put the stock tube back in or will it be fine with heat echanger and some sort of protector?

If you put the exchanger at the back of the tunnel extension you should be fine.

It should be fine, I have my 06 rtx with a 144" and dont have any iusses.

 

[apexrtx10]

Did tou put anything there to protect it?

 

[APEX 06]

Nope I'll take a pic when I get home.

Apex06 have you ever run studs with this set up. I will be running them and just wondered if that woud make a difference. That exchanger doesn't hang down that far could possibly fab a protector for it.

I would add some way of protect it.

I extended mine to a 136 and originally left the coolant tube in the original location. I ran 1.45 studs and they hit the tube in several places alomost going right through the tubes, if that had happened it would have killed the motor. I moved the tube back to the rear of the extention usuins 2 1 inch pieces of aluminium tube. I had no issues at all and it was a great improvement over the 121.
