hey guys i have an 05 with a 4.6 and supercab with 6.5 bed.at the moment i have a si/so flowmaster 40series dumped over the rear end.i find this set up isnt loud enough.to me it seems like it has better tone than factory but lacks volume.i cant really explain it.
i know i dont want redneck pipes(2 pipes straight out the back)and im not really wanting an x pipe or straight pipes.maybe get rid of cats?shorty headers?rerouting tailpipe?
im not looking at power and mileage its a damn truck its big and slow lol.but i want some noise.it seems that almost all of these trucks sound the same on the internet so i cant really place anything with sound clips.any ideas really are appreciated.

 

hi-flow cat converters is what you need.

 

is there any certain brand or model that is better than the rest?i need to look into that.im sorry i know what i didnt want but not what i do want lol.how much of a difference in sound do the high flows make over stock?

 

Magnaflow, magnaflow hi flows are around 40% louder than stock.

 

Magnaflow makes great converters, I would deal with them. I'm not very well up with Catco and Dynomax and Bassani cats, I know the Magnaflow cats work and last which is whats necessary. They flow 40% better than OEM, and louden up exhausts by atleast half.

 

hey about what did it cost you to to get your cats swapped out?im looking to call around tommorow and see as well im looking for a baseline really thanks.

 

Just to take out stock ones, replace with magnaflow(if you provide) and move the 02s, prolly 50-75 bucks.

 

A shop will do the job for around $200 if you provide the cats.

 

200 for just labor? Prices are jacked up there..

 

okay that doesnt sound too bad im thinking about going with the magnaflow 40106 or something like that i think these are the ones the will bring the most sound.from what i see these cats look pretty cheap price wise.why will the o2 sensors need to be relocated why cant i leave them where they are?

 

About 65-70 a cat. Need to be relocated to avoid throwing a code.

 

i got mine off the net and a shop charged me 240 for install

 

Jesus, apparently cat work is quite the "beetch"

 

40106? Did you mean the part #94106?

That cat will work right, and the rear O2s will need mounted after the hi-flow converters.


Its not at all cheap. Remember theres a liability issue, if something goes wrong they could get in trouble, and in many locations cat modification is illegal remember, $200 is a fair price for catalytic converter work.

 

yeah dude thats what i meant was tired when i posted that lol.but another question i have is that im wondering if the o2 bngs are moved,are the wires for the sensors going to haveenough slack or am i oing to have to but extensions or something?
