Default exhaust...

Well my stock muffler is somehow separating at the seams and I am going to take full advantage of this and put go after market . I have a few questions though before I dive in with my main one being - is it better to have the muffler as close to the front of the truck as possible with piping to the axle where I will put my turn down or would it be better to run piping straight to the point where I can put a muffler followed by a turn down ending up right over the rear axle? I am looking for as deep of an exhaust note as possible.

What engine size? Dual, or single exhaust? How big of pipes? What is the goal? Do you want it louder? Quieter?

It's the 4.6 and my goal is to cut it off at some point before the stock muffler and run a single pipe dumped over the rear axle. I want it louder but my main goal is a deep note. I don't want it popping and pinging like a damn 4 bangin rice burner.

pipe size will be stock unless suggested otherwise to alter the sound.

I didn't mess with the length of my pipe, all I did was cut the stock one out and put the new one in. Here is a video, and I'll put a pic in as to where the muffler is located.

I have a Flowmaster 50 muffler and an exhaust cut off to bypass the muffler lol, it's a fun switch. You can be stealth when u want to be and then mean and loud when you want to show off or screw around all at the flip of a switch

I have mine straight piped, I'm not one for overly loud, obnoxious exhaust, but with the 4 factory cats left alone it's not overly loud. It has th deep rumble note your looking for too.

I ended up putting a magnaflow on it and it seems quieter than stock. I might end up deleting it. I just hate to flush the money down the drain since I already welded it on I wont get much for it on resale.
