Default Turn Down Exhaust Anyone?

Who has a turn down system on their truck?

What company?

Pics? Vids?

You'd just be asking for some pretty terrible "drone"...

Also, it's not very desirable to dump all of the exhaust gasses under the cab. You're better off routing it through a tailpipe out the side of back of the truck.

I understand routing the exhaust out to the side of the back of the truck. I just do not want to see a pipe from the outside of the truck.

I am interesting to see if anything turns up on this thread.

Been combing the web for a turndown system on a 5.0 F150 and have yet to find any vids or reviews from it actually being done

I replaced the factory muffler with a straight pipe and just cut off the factory tail pipe as it curved down over the rear axel. Looks clean, sounds great, no drone at all and it only cost me $65.

Did the same as sandlot but replaced the factory muffler with a dynomax bullet and welded on a 4" tip

I would do what they've done and route it all the way back to right behind the axle

I had a magnaflo installed in stock location and turned down before axle. I like the sound its deep but not too loud and no drone.
