I will soon be replacing my dumped Cherrybomb pro with the Roush OR. My current set up has a good deep tone, it's just not loud enough for me. I was wondering if I experiment with drilling a hole in the front chamber of the muffler would it make it louder w/o sounding like crap, just in case it takes me a little longer before I purchase the Roush. My other question is, what if I just cut the turn down shorter and add an actual tip, to give it more of a megaphone effect. Currently the pipe after the muffler is about 8 inches straight back, then about a 6 inch turn down.

 

I would imagine itr would mess up the tone if you drilled a hole into trhe baffle. And if you added a little tip on the turn down thats the only way to get a mega phone echo affect.

 

the megaphone effect would work best, or you could just cut the muffler off all together and run a pipe back and connect it to your current turndown

 

I would say that the sound your looking for will be found, installing an X pipe and running straits. No muffler at all, run 2 1/4 pipe and put a 4" tip on.

This is what my F-150 is going to get when I get the means to do it! I love the sound of it! The OR cat back WON'T touch it!

 

A little off topic, but I can tell all you guys who are running no muffler at all. I have a two year old daughter. When she is sleeping, if you drove by my house later at night or very early in the morning with no muffler and its as loud as I imagine, and she woke up screaming.... I am certainly going to take note of where you live and see about kicking your ***

 

Also keep in mind that threatening other people is grounds for being banned from the site!

And your imagination is running wild! The only way it would wake your gremlin up is if your house was in the MIDDLE of the road. The cats and x pipe serve as a noise deadner and is NO WHERE NEAR as loud as the older engines with straits!

Go take a chill pill, and, relax!

Sorry to hear of the loud sounds scaring your daughter.
However, your approach is not a very good one. How do you know it was an F-150? Could have been a Camaro, Mustang or an old van with a bad muffler. Taking out your flustration on all here, solves nothing.
Hope everything works out for you.

 

Im not literally meaning to threaten anybody. My kid isnt waking up. I was using that as as a hypothetical situation. I am making a comment about people in general who remove their muffler's- Camaro's, Trucks, etc...doesnt matter.
If you remove them so that your vehicle is louder than hell, thats just being selfish. Not everybody wants to hear it. Im not against having a nice tone or a louder exhaust.

I am just generalizing that if you remove the muffler, I think thats going too far. Have you actually modified your motor? Or are you just one of those punk clowns trying to be a wannabe by making it sound loud?

 

You are really out of line here... Just because YOU DON'T like it, doesn't mean someone else shouldn't.

It is not selfish to make one's vehicle sound the way they so choose. THIS IS AMERICA DUDE!

Do you think that just because some YUPPIE YANKEE doesn't like the way our trucks sound, we are going to change it? NO!

Exhaust upgrades ARE a modification to a motor, so, YES we have!

 

I guess we should all sell our harley's to make this guy happy too.

 

speaking of Harley's, why is it ok to have such a loud bike, but 50 will ticket you for having a car or truck that is equally as loud?

 

ya and how come i can drive my loud tractor down the road without getting ticketed?

and why do we reference God in the pleadge of allegience when there is supposed to be seperation of church and state?

Ok maybe that one was a little over the line. sorry dude

 

Man, I thought you were a dumb @ss before when you were bustin on people who detail their trucks, but this reply really put you over the top. "nuff said

Here is some advice- when you are on the forum. Read a lot. Dont just look at the pictures. Lots of members have some amazing trucks. You may learn something here. Check out Built's truck. He's actually got a motor. Build yourself one. Then you wont have to resort removing your muffler to make it sound like its got some real nuts under the hood. Until then just drive your loud tractor down the road

 

chill dude. i already apologized.

thanks for the info about builts truck. i have read all about it. I have been a member here for a long time before 2007.

 

the problem isn't loud trucks - its the people that mash the gas in residential neighborhoods or around crowd of people to show off.

i can drive my truck around your house and your sleeping daughter won't even know i'm there. or I could be a jerk and blip the throttle on the street and wake the whole neighborhood up. its just about respect for other people.

By the way. where did u get that little ford for your little one? I may need some help around the house too when my son gets old enough!
