I just got my first truck and I want to put an exhaust on it before I do anything else. Orginially I was leaning toward a cat back but now I am not sure (considering that I know very little about exhaust). My biggest concern is that it sounds as deep and loud as possible and not cost too ridiculously much. (preferably dual exhaust) Any advice would be great!

straight pipes with no mufflers and cats. should be rediculously loud. i have my stock exhaust with the muffler cut out and its loud as *****

 

I agree, I have straight pipes with 3 inch tips and it is nice and loud. The neighbors dont like me when I leave for work at 4:30 in the morning.

Otherwise, I have also had good luck with the Flowmaster 40 series on my other vehicles. Flowmasters have the unmistakable rumble too!

FWIW,

Any of you guys have a sound clip of your straight pipes?

I vote true duals with no mufflers. Just make sure you get the straight pipes clamped in. Real nice and deep idle and sounds great when you get on it. Turns heads all the time

 

I have true duals on mine with 12" glass packs. It sounds kinda different idleing but when your driving or step on it, wow, it has a friggin loud and mean sound!

True dual with no mufflers, or IMCO Extreme mufflers.
