I need exhaust

Hey everyone i need new exhaust mine is to quite! I need loud and deeeeepppp! I hate flowmaster, i do like maggnaflow but i dont think its quite loud enough but the rumble is good. I need to figure something out soon so i can by the mufflers and take it to the shop and get the pipes bent. My idea is to do 4 inch rolled slant cut tip behind the rear wheels and with a X pipe, if theres a better set up do tell.

Want a good deep sound? Replicate my exhaust, or go with Borla mufflers, or keep the stock cats and get Dynomax Bullets.

Want a good sounding and performing system? si/do 14" Magnaflow.

you can hack off the muffler and possibly two cats and run a y pipe and two tail pipes.

thank you. its loud outside and sounds good, its up there with the Flowmaster 2 chambers. Its got a much deeper bear growl in person too, but its pretty much the same loudness, as you could hear my friends over-exaggerative support during the recording you can compare the volume that ways a little more. I'm happy with it.

Getting the perfect sound with performance is always near impossible. Since I got true duals my truck is slower and has less low end. Keep with a si/do system and you will maintain great performance, just wont have the high rumble of real duals.

I believe you would want the Roush Off-Road. Real deep and loud even with stock cats. Have a listen.

That does sound pretty good.... Man I wish I had the Roush system.

You can buy it cheapest from Woodhouse. http://www.woodhousestore.com/servle...7 $500 shipped No one with the Roush kit has any regrets.

Yours is deffinetly loud enough just not the real deep sound im looking for but thats really hard to do with these new engines i guess. i can do roush because they first off dont have them coming out the sides behind my tires and i want bigger tips. Whats the difference in have one muffler and two i might have to sacerfice a little sound to keep my perfomance if now gain low end. I rather just buy the mufflers and tips be cheaper and get the set up the way i want it. How much does it cost to weld cats back on for inspection?

you can get hi-flow cats or just gut them and keep them on. i dont know how gutting them sounds tho. anyone have any sound clips? or, if you have 4 cats stock, you can remove the back 2. but its not legal.

You can modify the Roush system if it does not please you. I was originally going to get the Roush system and have the shop bend the pipes swept, and add 4x18 Magnaflow tips.

Two mufflers just sounds better, its like two trucks running at the same time at idle, and the revs and accel sounds real aggressive.

Usually $50 or so.

if you want loud just do SI/DO and put two glasspacks on.
