A simple no B.S assessment
A simple no B.S assessment
Like it said up there ^ I want a simple no B.S straight truth what people think about my exhaust setup, and if it would be possible to improve on it (louder) and still keep it around the same tone.
If you don't like it tell me, and why.
If you do, tell me and why.
sorry for the second video, it was a lone camera man and driver.
P.S
I was wondering how much my tips affected my sound, I didn't set them even they are off a little.

Well if you want brutal honesty, I can certainly give you that. 
IMO, your exhaust is boring. Not aggressive enough and not loud enough. You have several options to solve this.
1) High flow cats Part# 94106
2) More aggressive muffler (Magnapacks, Bullets, Shorter oval muffler)
3) True duals

It is pretty calm and regular sounding. Super 44?
The true way to unleash the volume is change the cats to hi-flows. I had 2.5" true duals with Magnaflow 11" bodies and with the stock cats it was still near quieter than a Flowmaster 2 chamber swap. I'm currently running pre-cats only, no rears ( which is free hi-flows, your model is unable for that since 06+ have 2 cats ), 2.5" true duals with 12" Dynomax Bullets. It about wakes my neighbors up. He noticed when I got the swap one day, luckally he goes to work at the same hour I do
.
Also dual tips at the stock location, its cool to be unique but it looks a little off imo, but one tip behind both wheels, or the two infront of the passenger wheel.

No idea if I have 2 or 4, I will walk out right now and look....
Ok, so it comes off the headers into a flange, then a O2, then a small round cat ( at first glance I thought it was a resonator) y pipe and into the muffler.
to be honest it has a slight pop and crackle at times, and I would like to keep it that way, once I get money to have it re done, I think I will go 2.5" pipe and I was looking at SLP LM1's or a set of oval mufflers.
Either dumped behind the axle or one behind each tire.

Hmm Darren, i just watched the video you have with the Nissan, I like how your truck sounds.
and i hate the Nissan sound.
how much would that cost me?
in your before and after both sounded good but the after sounds great.

I think your exhaust is too quiet. True duals with hi-flow cats, a crossover pipe, a pair of aggressive mufflers, and tailpipes out the back with 12-18" long 4" diameter exhaust tips would really be a huge difference.
Or if a cheaper route is what you had in mind then maybe just swap out your stock cats for set of hi-flows. That will make your current cat-back exhaust noticably louder.
As stated earlier, the real sound is unleased when you switch to hi-flow cats and true duals.

try a video outside. that one was inside so it will sound different. Do a drive by, just to get different sounds from it. I like the tips since they are different from everyone else. just my $.02
I have $419 invested in mufflers, tips, & install labor, $453 including the rear cat delete. Over $560 invested overall with previous mufflers.
You dont 'have' to get true duals to sound good neither, some people dont like the dual rumbling sound, or the price tag that comes with it, or the low end torque loss that also comes with it.
