this is the third time i got pulled over for exhaust on my truck. this time the cop actually gave me a warning. i got 15 days to get it fixed. i have a 2000 f150 lariat. i have a cat-back exhaust with a y-pipe. i removed the two back cats and replaced them with just pipe. i need to get some type of muffler on there or glasspack in the next 15 days. i love the way my truck sounds now. whats the best thing i can do so i wont get a fine but i wont lose the sound of my truck??? any help greatly appreciated

 

You're running around with cat-less straights, and you're wanting to know why your getting pulled over?! What state do you live in?

 

Dynomax Bullets, wont be raspy or crackly though.

Atleast you aren't getting fined for not having the rear cats, be happy because thats a nation wide fine and it is not cheap.

 

i live in wisconsin. im not wanting to know why i got pulled over. i know why i got pulled over. and i just need to get it fixed

 

sux to hear that.. down here in Alabama i guess they dont care lol i rancats only i cut the muffler out completely ran that for 3 years never had a problem..

 

put on a dynomax bullet. 40 bucks shipped from summit racing. cheap install, and will still sound badass!

 

could get a cherry bomb extreme muffler. i mean hey its a muffler right?? just get a si/do extreme.

 

cherry bomb extreme's aren't as loud as you'd think, i'm running one right now. 3" single in/3" dual out. granted yours would be louder without back cats, but i'd run straight glasspacks

 

go to vato zone and gerab the cheap glass packs they sell

 

glasspacks are only gonna be loud like you like it at high RPM's and IMHO i think they sound like crap when you romp on it. I would go with a cherrybomb or the bullet like previouly mentioned

 

heres a video of my 03 4.6L with a cheap glasspack, everything else is stock.

thanks guys. so in 14 days or whatever i gotta get my truck checked out to make sure its legal. if i throw a glasspack or cherry bomb glass pack on there will that pass as a muffler?

 

yes a glasspack is a muffler. actually i don't think anybody makes them now, but my dad and his brothers use to gut glasspacts and throw 2.5in pipe in them with the packing still in there, and it would be as loud as a normal straight pipe but still be look like a muffler, and since they kept the packing in when you tap em to see if they're gutted it would sound like it wasn't.

 

glad the cops round here are pretty cool about this but the troopers aren't so nice

 

If you don't want to change anything just bore a hole thru the pipe just behind your exhaust tips, shove in a ball of steel wool just to quiet down to the needed tone, insert a bolt thru the pipe to hold in the steel wool and go get inspected. When you leave and get back on the highway and up to speed if you didn't use to much just shift into netural and give it a couple of revs to blow out the wool and keep on getting down the highway.
