now that I get farther from high school I'm finding girls that know the difference between a jacked up pretty boy truck and a real truck, it's nice.
I've been pulled over A LOT and I have several friends that are CHP, city cops and sherriffs. technically, it's illegal to modify the exhaust in any way if it's louder than factory. as well as suspension, lighting engine, et cetera. so if a cop really really wanted to be a ****, he could write most of us up for a lot of stuff but they won't unless you give them really good reason. here in CA diesels are exempt from any emissions inspections/tailpipe tests, so no one cares if your kitty wanders off or your exhaust pipe grows. believe me, I got read to and taken back to the police car to read for myself the vehicle code for exhaust a few times a month in the '56, it's far from stock and with a performance built fuel injected small block I've made sure to run adequate exhaust for me to hear it...and anyone in the general vicinity. never got written up, always warned(on exhaust anyway!)

Ive been caught up in them before (main street where cruise is by my house) girls seem to love the ram, noise and idle down here, its a shame tho that most of them are not as hot as what they should be... Although it is obvious a 4 inch straight pipe gets their attention... girls love the sound..
had a coworker yesterday ask me yesterday when i was gonna get a new truck, cause my current one sounds too much like a train..

Just felt like adding to this...
I welded up a straight pipe a month ago, and man is this thing loud!
I love it!
I do construction and on many occasions, my crew thought I was the crane/slag truck/mixer showing up

you should buy some sheet metal and just for fun roll it into a huge megaphone shaped tip, 4 inches at the small end and like 16 inches on the big end, clamp it on and use some coat hangers or something to hold it up under your truck and see how loud that is!

I'm sure someone thought of it before I did but a few weeks ago I was thinking about two seperate conversations I'd had with different people, one about how the cummins sounds like a beastly tractor when uncorked and two how versatile 'angry' can be as a descriptive word for almost anything...and then in my mind, angry tractor came about.
the 16" stove pipe/coat hanger mod seems like it'd be a great idea! I was actually wondering if a 6" tip would make any difference in sound or not. I don't want to buy one but I could make one and adapt it pretty easily. I'm getting used to the downpipe, even better is that it limits my cellphone usage; maybe I can try that one on a cop if I get pulled over for exhaust...I don't see much good coming from that conversation. maybe it'll seem 'quiet' relative to now when I turn it out in front of the axle.

Just a plain ole guy
"3 were hot, the other two brought the overall average back to below satisfactory"
I think you would call them a butterface. Everything looks good but her face.
