So I have finally gotten tired of my exhaust and have been going back and forth on all my options.....a couple of guys have told me the cheapest and easiest way to get louder was cutting my pipes. Is this bad for my truck in anyway? Will it really increase my loudness? Can this be illegal? I am an exhaust "noob" so I have no idea about anything...

 

Its called straight pipe (no muffler). Its legal and is fine for your truck. Its the loudest you can go without touching your converters. Id put a dynomax bullet on there instead.

 

I wouldn't go straight pipes. Throw on a 12" Dynomax Bullet and call it a day. Sounds much better, loud and deep, and the Bullet is only $40.

 

x3 on 12" Bullet, or Magnaflow Magnapack.

 

x4 bullet

 

Haha alright...scratch cutting pipes....a 12" dynomax bullet is all i need? What exactly is a bullet? For only $40? How much does installation run? Thanks for the help guys...I really have no idea about any of this....

You can do the installation yourself. All you would need are three clamps, your Bullet and a small section of pipe to make up whatever length is left after you take out the stock mile-long muffler. If you buy the parts and do install, cost would probably be around $75 if you got good clamps. I don't know what cost would be to go to a shop but a guess would be $100 and welded in. ??

 

Ya about $100-$125 for a section of pipe and labor.

 

yup

 

Ok so I am looking at 125 max probably...and my pipe would still be sticking out the side? what would be the easiest way to go dual from that point? I don't want to be crazy loud.....i just want duals for looks mainly thanks for the help guys

 

get the shop 2 put on a y-pipe after ur bullet an dual it out from there. i had this setup win i first got my truck but with no muffler it sounded realy good not 2 loud. give it a try u want be disapointed

 

You just had a y pipe and it sounded good? How much would a y pipe run me?

 

when i got mine done all the did was cut my stockmuffler off and put a y pipe in its place an dualed it out from there it sounded realy good. and it ran me 200$ thats tips included.

 

Not trying to steal this thread but for $40 how do these sound on a V6??? Ive read that a 40 series sounds the best but thats about $60 more than this.

 

Bullet is what I wanted to do, but there not that popular up here in Ontario so I went with Flowmaster super 44 I like it but the cats will have to be changed to high flows down the road!
