I wan' t to make my truck a little louder. so i chopped the pipe at the back of the muff. reved it up and still sounds quiet, im tempted to chop it in front of the muff and take the muff out, but i thought id ask you guys how it will sound? its a 4.9 straight 6
Any suggestions welcome

 

Take pipe off after cat, get a couple of extension pieces, an elbow, a floomaser 20 or 30 ser muffler, a couple of clamps, a hanger, should sound good, and do it in 2 1\2 if cat is 2 1\4, or if cat is 2" get adapter to 2 1\4 and do it in 2 1\4. Its a cheap exhaust. Motors still need a little back pressure.

 

Flowmaster 40 series sounds nice on the 4.9's. weld the muffler as close to the resonator or cat (if you still have them) as you can, then run 2 1/2 or 2 3/4 inch duals and angle them out the sides, right behind the back tires. i would use 4'' by 10'' tips. it will sound good. hope that helped.

 

O, i was just thinking chop the muff and leave it just like that......
so you guy think i need a muffler

 

First its not too smart to have exhaust exit under the truck, and yes it should have some sort of muffler for a little back pressure, besides its proven actually having a muffler produces more power.

 

alright thanks, What about just a y pipe and duals????

 

I cant say, that is preference, personally I would save the money and do what I did, I did my exhaust for $60.00 with a cheap muffler.

 

You don't need a muffler. You don't need to worry about back pressure.

 

ended up chopping the muff off, pipe is a foot away in back of cab but sounds decent not loud loud but nice tone. im not going with a performance muff because that would make it quieter thanks for the help

 

LMAO, you sound exactly like me, ask for advice and go the total opposite direction. I don't know why we do it. Im sure theres an underlying reason.
