Woo Hoo, just got back from the muffler shop, swapped out the stock exhaust for 2.5" X-pipe and straight pipes out the back!!!!! Nice and Loud (maybe too loud). I have to run for now but tomorrow I am going to attempt to get some videos up! decided against the hi-flows for now (might as well wait till i get headers put on also, then i'll get the hi-flows and some maggies) But for now I'm very pleased!!!!

 

Glad to hear someone else likes their straights. I love mine.

 

birddog your not the only one




thats alomars truck 2 days old, mine is the same way, i did both of them at a cost of $22.95 each

 

Wow someone else with straights on an f150, The way they are bashed around here I am surprised im not the only one with them.

 

i know, its amazing how everyone who bashes them hasnt had them, little do they know they actually do add power to the low end (complete opposite to what people think). i had straights then got a bassani exhaust for free and took it off the next day cuz i lost power from when i had the straight pipe

 

the pipes might be a touch loud........ scared the crap out of my great dane when i fired it up, he didn't know which way to run. So far love the sound nice deep grumble, and at cruising speeds its really quiet until you get on it. Doubt i'll get any christmas cards from the neighbors after this but oh well......

 

yeah they are surprisingly quiet when idleing and cruising

 

took my two buddies with me to the shop so we could go have some beers while my truck was getting worked on, both have chevy 2500's. After my truck got down off the lift and the guy fired it up and gave it a few revs of the motor, they both looked at each other, then quickly asked what could they get done for there trucks. They were informed that the newer 2500 diesels don't have much in terms of options for their exhaust. Ahhh the utter disappointment on their faces was priceless.

 

Hey I recognize that truck in the pics! its mine!


I love my straights, Heard coles and got my truck and had to do it. Every person loves the sound. Making car alarms go off all the time just by starting it up, and the look on someones face when ya slam on the gas and their windows are down in CLASSIC!!!!

 

i got straight on mine i got a Y-pipe i was thinkin about getting another pipe and putting them comin off the headers instead of one pipe comin from the engine it will be 2. i like my straight pipe i wish it didnt sound like a plane when i floor it. I know what u mean about neigbors they hate me now haha i wake them up when i leave at 6:45 to go to school

 

Sound like a plane? huh?

 

Awesome man congrats.

 

would the 4.2 v-6 sound alright with straight pipes...ive got a flowmaster now and it sounds descent but I would like it louder and deeper..

 

also do you guys pass inspection without a muffler?

 

Yea i used to have flowmaster but they cut it out and put in the Y-pipe and ever since i guess the air pressure is echoing off the pavement or something. Its when i get upwards of 2500 rpm. i would make a sound clip but uhh my phone sucks at recording haha. I tried to record a sound clip of me in the garage :P and it sounds like crap. i couldnt even get the garage door rattling.

My neighbors love me
