I got a 2000 with 4. single cab long bed if that changes anything. and I thought about running straight piped i already got the cats gutted but i hate how quiet it is with the muffler i got on it now. I thought of cutting the muffler off and run a Y from the cat back and do a straight exit out the back with 4 inch all the way back from the Y. I dont want to loose more power and im afraid running 4 inch from cat back with the Y will not give enough back pressure.if anyone done anything like this what do yall think and what would yall change?

 

I don't think you'll notice anything power wise. Though I've never run that setup on a 4.2l.

But when I have changed the exhaust and put it back to stock, I noticed no differences, except noise.

 

That would be grossly loud. Put a SI/DO glasspack and dual tailpipes on it. That's what I'm running, with 2.25" tailpipes dumping out the sides behind the rear wheel. My local muffler shop did the job, custom bending the pipes.

 

How does it sound I want to be loud but at the same time I want it to sound good and since it is a daily I dont want to drive myself Insane and I want to hear the radio.

 

It will be a week or so before I can post a sound clip, I'm out of town right now.

 

I want to hear glc's truck too.

 

I would love to even tho I got plans for either super late this year or even mid to late next year for my truck i just got to find if its possible I want to put a 3.5 eco boost in my truck except No TCS, Stability control and how hard engine mounts would be but thats for another thread

 

that’s a lot of money for disappointing results

 

going to a 4” pipe you will lose exhaust velocity for sure, and if it’s for volume / noise, replace the muffler with pipe and then just add some diesel pickup coffee can tip(s)

 

I'm still sitting here anxious to hear glc's truck.

 

I'm still on the road. By the way, my front cats are removed, rear cats in place.Muffler is a "Gator" glasspack. They are a small company in Springfield MO with no online presence.

Interesting. Safe journeys!

 

Okay, here's 2 video clips. The truck is parked in a carport that has 3 foot high concrete walls on both sides and a garage door in front of the truck, and is under my back deck. First clip is outside in back of the truck, second clip is inside with the driver's window open.



It does not drone in the cab when driving, no problem listening to the radio.

 

Wow, that sounds nice glc! I love your truck.

I like the mileage too.

Very nice.

Well worth the wait too.

 

Sounds good almost sounds like my setup It pops sometimes when i manually shift into first. If yall wanna hear it i can get a try to get a vid of mine maybe tom or
