???? do u have stock exhaust? put on a bullet or a loudmouth, youll get a nice "chug" from those. you wont get a loud idle from these trucks, compared to a ram, titan, or silverado.

Get a flowmaster 50 series if you want some rumble and the 40 series mufflers for varying levels of loudness

No muffler, just straight pipe it and dump before the axle, pointing down at the ground. I like the idle, kinda get annoyed at high rpms.

No muffler swap on these trucks will give you that nice, lopey, musclecar idle...
