Exhaust tip/exit opinions... no muffler questions ive got that covered!
#11
I have a si/do magnaflow and put them both out in stock location like the raptors or super dutys, love it. I have had them straight out under the bumper....sucked when you are hooking up the trailer, which i did alot of, then i angled them out the corners (before everybody and thier brother was doing it around here) liked it but in the winter i couldn't see good when backing up...the exhaust was a big white cloud blocking vision from my mirrors. I even had them exit in front of the wheels on another truck, but it was a reg cab and it got a little noisy on long rides
the best i have had is what i got now

Love your truck man!! I came across your truck somewhere around here and ever since I've been wishing a supercharger will show up one day!! I don't think I can go with the lightning exit for in cab noise but I will say I really like the look on yours!

Ahh!! Next question was gonna be tip size. I now plan to angle exhaust but stock location as yours shows with 3" pipe but for the tip I was thinking 5".....
You have any pictures of yours further back from truck and level with tip??
Looks good btw!

As you can see pretty much a wash. The only difference is the van is quiet hum like any factory ride, and the truck is more of a deep rumble. i would love to do this test with a factory truck. May have to borrow a friends truck
Here's an in cab video of mine at the drag strip with the back window down 1-2 inches. With the windows up I can have the radio between 4-6 blocks and hear fine.
Heres one I'm not proud of as it needs editing and there is some crackling from the camera but you can hear the truck start and idle high with the doors and windows closed. Then under hood and to the tips for a quick free rev.

SJP- thanks!! That picture worked as needed. I was wanting to see how the 6" looked in size comparison to the body of the truck. I know our body styles are different but close enough for my visual.
