with duals and SS tips for $400.00 for my new 5.4.

That was the quote I got from a local exhaust shop that does a lot of hi-performance stuff..........

I respect everybody's opinion here and just wondering if I'm getting ripped-off or should I just do it?

Also, I'm concerned it may be too loud, I really don't want the volumn turned up in the cab, I like the smooth, quiet ride.

 

Big there are alot of different exhaust systems out there . If you go performance expect it to be loud. Now if you go with a sport type you may achieve the sound you like .Check out your local muffler shop mine was done installed 304 stainless muffler and aluminized pipe for $350. Look for a place that does Hot Rods they know more of the sound quality that we would like.

 

hi ebay and find what you want and put it on and take it to them to weld it

 

Question for you guys -- Is there any exhaust system out there that produces a nice sound outside the truck, yet no increase of sound inside the cab? I was about to get a Magnaflow from a local muffler shop. He said it was the quietest Magnaflow that is made. Just before I was going to get it, I started talking to my grandpa about it. So happens that he had just gotten that exact same muffler on his Cheby 2500HD (8.1L V8 gas). So I took it for a test drive. I liked the way it sounded from outside, but inside there was resonating at low RPM. That is what I DON'T want. Any suggestions? Am I just asking for too much

 

BAmorris you can get that sound I had it on my 99 and my 03. just talk to a good muffler shop. They will give you some good advise but ask them for a sport not a performance and you should hear a diff.This 04 is loud on take off and i hear it at 65mph in the cab i just turn up the music untill it's quite . OH_YEAH I"M 49 THIS YEAR AND OZZIE STILL ROCKS.
