I bought the truck with some sort of frankenstein exhaust already on it. It looks like the factory down pipe and than some sort of 4" exhaust with a glass pack is attached where the cab and bed meet. It is REALLY LOUD, and it drones on the highway bad. I just got done driving it across country towing 10k, NEVER AGAIN!

I just want to know what the best system or muffler is to install to shush her down to at least factory levels. Anyone have a factory system ly-ing around they don't want??

Looks like this might work for the drone: https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...hlight=exhaust

Any other ideas are greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

lots of people are happy with a hushpower muffler. you could also put a resonator AND a muffler on it?

Strong05

I've heard of the hushpower, I've also heard they are expensive. I'm trying to keep the cost down as much as possible. But I will def look into one just to be sure the cost hasn't been exagerated

have a tractor muffler on mine,less than $50 gets rid of drone sound

magnaflow on mine..no issues with noise. and its a straight thru muffler

I found the hushback muffler for about $200... I'm sure its a great muffler, but I can almost get an entire exhaust for that much. The tractor muffler sounds like a good idea, I'll have to ask around back home and see if anyone has a one for cheap.

Thanks again everyone for the help!

This resonator/muffler (cheaper substitute for the HushPower) has been out for over a year with not one negative review!!
Not tried it but sounds like a winner!

Don't put the stocker exhaust on it, especially if you tow. Mine got down to under two inches in diameter at the bend over the rear axle. Just put a quality muffler on it as suggested so you don't restrict flow.

I've been looking at the resonator/muffler, that may very well be the best solution for my problem.

I didn't realize the stocker was that restrictive. At the very least with the system I have now I've never seen EGT's higher than 1200 for more than a few seconds pulling 10k across the Mojave desert, in the dead of summer...

turn off the key
I like mine loud, I don't need a horn in traffic and pedestrians NEVER walk out in front of me around town.

Strong05

Don't get me wrong I have enjoyed the loudness at times... but the cross country trip beat me to a pulp. 3k+ mils of drone was more than enough for me to seek a silencing option.
