HELLO ALL,JUST THOUGHT I WOULD TELL EVERY ONE WHAT I THOUGHT OF MY NEW EXHAUST. tHE TRUCK REALLY SOUND GOOD AND DOSENT SEEM TO HAVE TO MUCH DRONE.IT MORE OR LESS SOUNDS LIKE A BULL DOZER.I DO HAVE ONE PROBLEM I NOTICE NOW A VIBRATION IN THE CAB OF THE TRUCK AT AROUND 1400 RPMS THAT WAS NOT THERE BEFORE. HAS ANY ONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS?

 

Hey! Yeah I had the same thing in my 03. It sounded great at first but it got old on long trips. Hit your CAPS key please

 

Yeah, first long trip with it straight piped will be your last trust me, I know, as my PSD was straight piped, and around town, was GREAT. But made a trip to Arkansas and back, thought I was going to go nuts

 

Dont listen to em, I just did 1200 miles with mine and wouldnt have it any other way.

 

I had my truck straightpiped for a while until I was pulled over by the same highway patrol cop twice within three months for my loud exhaust. It's pretty bad when the cop remembers your name and says "Didn't I tell you to put a muffler on that thing?" It does sound good though.

 

I'm running straight pipe with twin 5" stacks and it's not bad at all cruising the freeway. Did a 350 mile trip the other day and it was fine.

 

I now know also as well.
I straight-piped mine December 27th and hate it.
Wasn't too bad on the trip back, as all roads were of a secondary nature and barely got over 65 mph. First trip on the interstate (about 30 miles or so) and I was ready for an extended stay at Charter Ridge.
I had reservations about doing it, but at least I now know for sure that straight*piped is not for me.
I asked the muffler shop to remove my Flowmaster #53553 in such a way I could re-use it; I replaced the muffler with two "tweaked" 45* 4" elbows and a small section of straight 4".
If it's too cobbled up, I guess I'll hang some kind of Magnaflow system on it.

Hey guys sorry for the slow reply,but I wanted to make sure that I still liked my truck after the muffler fell off .Just made a pretty long trip with my trailer loaded.Man this truck is loud,but it is not that bad inside the cab.I sure felt sorry for the people in the right lane.I agree with what WAP said I wouldnt have it any other way.Yeah it is pretty outragous but isnt that what we bought these trucks for!
