What tip to help the noise?
I just put the mbrp 4" system in my truck this weekend. It's louder than I was hoping it would be. Stock it only armed 1 alarm and set off one alarm in the parking garage. Now it sets off 3-4 of them. If I had it to do over, I'd have left it the way it was but I had to destroy the original muffler getting it out.. Oh well, I'll have to live with it. would a 90deg tip facing down be any quieter than the straight out exit? At least I can hear the turbo now. Not too loud, just enough to know it's there..

I installed the aero turbine on my truck and forgott to tighten one bracket all the way which caused the muffler to change positions. I seemed to have notice that the further down the muffler was pointed the louded it was inside the truck.

A turndown will probably make it louder. You should look into getting an Aeroturbine and installing it as far forward as possible. This has helped many MBRP customers like their system much better. Wait till you hook a trailer up to that thing now! You haven't heard drone yet!!!

one trick is to make sure you get the tip out from under the truck, my tip in pic gallery sticks out every bit as far as my H2 takeoffs, keeps the sound from getting under the truck and back into the cab.

I was going to say exactly what Mikemaze said. I noticed a big difference when I put my tip on when I was straight piped. It sticks 1-1.5" out past the rocker.

just my 2 cents but i thought that the MBRP muffle has 2 ways you can put it in. one being loud and the other not so loud. the baffles agians the muffle walls are directional so you can pick loud or not so loud. i no this is how it is on my kit, not so sure for the 3 gen trucks.
