blue devil is right magnaflow is a great product! but if you want it as loud as possible without removing your cats then go with dual strait pipes! i have dual 3'' off the cats then Ys into single 4'' and goes arond the transfercase then Ys back to dual 3'' over the axles and exits out behind the tires into 4'' tips! it sounds amazing! but you can go down a size in pipe to save some money(2.5'' and 3'') and it will still sound great!

i've personally never like magnaflows. IMO the only way you can get them loud and not foggy/muffled sounding is by taking off your cats... I have a flowmaster super 40 and it sounds great and there is little drone in the cab and it's never raspy

flowmasters sound like a tin can! and now that b&m owns flowmaster the quality has gone to ****. thats y i dont sell them anymore! you might not have bought the right size magnaflow for your application. the shorter the muffler the louder it will be. also if you want your exhaust to be louder mount the muffler closer to the motor. some shabby exhaust shops will mount a muffler as far back as the rear axle and then wounder why the customer complanes about sound!lol

I don't wanna run stock cats an im still debating what I want. im trying to find people that live around here that have the different exhaust so I can actually hear what they sound like and go from there.
