I want the loud diesel big rig sound, I just bought an 01 2500 from a very old man well taken care of stock to the bone. Im looking for good exhaust sound?? do I want a 4 in 5 in and what brand or what medium performance mods do u all recommend? thanks guys and hello Im new here, nice web page too

 

Any 4" exhaust with out the muffler will give you the sound you want... I would get ahold of Farmboy Diesel... He's got some good deals and he's even in your state!!!

 

Get an MBRP or Silverline 409 stainless exhaust with a muffler delete pipe, and you will be set. The 5" will be deeper, but not necessarily louder. The 4" is all you will need unless you plan on breaking 600 hp.

 

T304 is a little bit better than t409 stainless. Either way it's good. With a straight pipe it definitely sounds like a bigger truck. Most people expect a dump truck to roll around the corner. Just go 5" and never look back.

 

thanks for the info guys

 

Welcome to the DTR!
If you want big rig sound then you might as well look like a big rig. Get Stacks.

 

5"

well it looks like it gonna be a 5 in guys thanks for all the input once again

 

You won't be disappointed!

 

JMO but i think 5" is over kill.
Go 4" with 5" tip straight piped.
Or go dual 4" like mine.
RPMoutlet.com has exhaust pretty cheap. I have the Moto Blue dual and so does Fiveology.

 

so will the 5" bolt right up by the turbo or will it be like a reducer then go to 5" fome like 3 or whatever?

 

Usually 5" exhausts come with a 4" downpipe that bolts right up to the turbo. I wouldn't go with anything bigger than a 4" downpipe, maybe even 3.5". Turbo will lag and I doubt you can even fit it in there.

 

Here is a clip of my exhaust sound.

it will be a 4" downpipe then step up to 5 when it gets past the firewall. straight piped sounds sweet if you can stand the resonation from in the cab.

 

how loud is the incab noise from straight pipe, was thinkin about doin it, i got a 96 12v
thanks
