im considering getting a 2.5" level with 295/70/18 nitto trail grabbers and running my exhaust just y pipe and two 3.5"x18" tips. But im concerned on how loud it is going to be in the cab between the tires and the pipes, i ride with the windows up most of the time. Im just wondering how much noise im going to have to deal w/ or if this will lead to a stereo upgrade as well.

 

Straight pipes won't be that loud with all 4 stock cats in place, but it would certainly sound better with a 12" bullet! Just a little quieter than a straight pipe, but deeper sounding. Really gives straight pipes that edge IMO.

 

x2.

 

hey thanks a lot guys, but how do you think the tires will sound w/ the bullet or straights?

 

I don't know about the tires. I have stock size terra graplers, and they are not noisy at all, but I'm not sure about those. You could try asking about these tires in the Wheels, Tires & Brakes section. They could probably help you out and offer some advise.

 

Not sure about the tires but they shouldn't be too bad. I'm going to say that the exhaust will definitely be louder than the tires..... if that's what you're asking.

 

I'm running bfg mud terrain kms and 2 high flow cats with an x pipe and no mufflers. its loud in the cab but the stock radio will easily over come it. When I was running the factory 2 cats and straight pipe it wasn't bad at all.
