I am wanting to change my exhaust to 4 inch. When I purchased the truck it had stock exhaust straight piped behind the tranny and split to duals ran out the back. I loved the sound but it got overbearing on long trips pulling the horses. I added a walker muffler and it help. What exhaust system do y'all recommend and will a mufflered 4 in system be as loud or quieter than what i have now. What is the advantages/differences between a 3.5 down pipe and a 4 in down pipe Thanks Rog

 

Rog,

Get yourself a full 4" system (including downpipe). The muffler that comes with most aftermarket exhaust system does quieten the sound level some but not a whole lot because most are straight through design. MBRP makes some nice exhaust systems.

Your truck came from the factory with a resonator (looks like a cat)...is it still on the truck ir did the P.O. turf it? I belive there are aftermarket resonators available but dont know where to point you.


Just read your signature - yuur horses might need to get some earplugs...

 

i just used a straight piped 02 this weekend towing, couldnt even tell it was straight with the windows up. moving the exhaust out further from the fender helps some

 

looking at magnaflow and mbrp. any suggestions. best place for price

 

I had a turbo back system on my 01.5, got if for less than $350.00 shipped from warpspeedperformance.com

Worked out really well, came with a "diamond eye" straight through design muffler that toned down the noise, but gave it a nice growl.

 

I'll put in a vote for mbrp, the hangers are welded to the pipes, not the clamps, I thought that was real nice for the install. Sounds good, not too loud, not too quiet.
Just look around for good deal, you shouldn't have to pay much over $300 for an aluminized system.

 

Another vote here for MBRP!!! Mine was a simple install. Thoughest part was cutting out my old stock system. Talk to Darrell at DPP, he was real helpful,
answered all my questions.

Vote again for MBRP. Easy fit up and I like the sound.

 

I really like my Diamond Eye system. It's only loud when I want it to be.

 

Diamond Eye and MBPR Are Both Great Systems! I Love the MBPR Kits , There such a smooth fit! Theres also some great budget aluminized kits around as well!

 

Silverline makes a good exhaust

 

i will have to put my vote in for MBRP as well cus that what i have an i love it. I was running a streught pipe and it was a bit loud but the MBRD cool dule's that i have sound really nice in my opinion, but they are not as loud. i think its moore of a deep muffled base. good luck
