So im kind of in a dilemma here guys so help me out. I lovvveeee the sound of my truck when i had it dumped, no muffler. The problem is that it was dumped so there was very much drone in the cab, especially when i tow (which i do quite a bit). It also just seemed veryyyy sluggish. Like there was night and day difference when i had it run through my muffler. My quiestion is basically why is this so? I love the sound of no muffler, but with all the towing i do its justt a pig! If i took my muffler out and just ran a y pipe would that be any different? i want to keep the "no muffler" sound.

 

The muffler, or lack of muffler didn't hurt you performance, dumping it under the cab did. Run a piece of pipe from the Y-pipe to the OEM exit, or dump it past the axles.

 

? well i have a si/do right now exiting like 45 degrees out the back. just relpace the muffler with a y-pipe?

 

no, cut off the muffler and run pipe from that to the rear. Your having one piece of pipe running from the stock Y pipe (which is before the muffler) to the rear of the truck.

 

Why does dumping the exhaust under th cab hurt the performance vs. dumping it over the rear axle??

 

i have no muffler

went to pepboys got a ninety degree piece sounds good looks good

 

Cut out the stock Y and run a magnaflow 2.5" into 3" Y and run single 3" back to stock exit with a nice tip. Cheap and it'll sound beastly.

 

ok that is probably what i will do. but what is wrong with replacing the muffler with a y pipe so i can have my dual exits out the back?

 

why not cut the stock Y out and put in a magnaflow true-X and run true dual straights if you want duals?

 

im broke lol. i just wanna get that sound without doing much

 

Then you should wait til you have more money. No need to go the cheap route that you will go back and redo later.

Do you have a muffler on your truck right now?

 

yes. si/do flowmaster. it is super quiet and i dont know why. i bought it off a guy on here and theres nothing wrong with it but im not real sure which model it is. its just wayyy ttoooo quiet.

 

Well it's a SIDO and you have stock cats. Just swap the muffler out with a Y-pipe and you can have your straight-pipe sound and still retain your torque.

 

^ agreed. I think that is what you are looking for OP.

 

thanks guys
