My exhaust on the ford was e-bay cheapie ie "magnaflow style" it does have the fins though. I did the angle iron trick it did seem to get rid of some of the drone. But I have gotten used to it and like it so no biggie!!

Correct, if you change the mass of the pipe you also change the resonat frequency.

Hey jlarmour,( hope I spelled that right ), which of your pickups do you like better, for towing, hauling, and such, and wich one wins in a drag race? By the way, how far east are you?

Where is your exhaust exiting ?? Before or After the rear wheel ??

I straight pipedm mine a year ago exits the same as stock with a 5" SS tip. Got PLENTY of noise polution tickets up here. Way to costy so I installed a 4" staright through muffler from FloPro and it sounds nice and deep. Staright pipe was extremely loud when towing. ( from Toronto Canada to Sedona AZ ) 8600 km's round trip.

Just my 2 cents

The ford right now hands down outpulls the dodge (1 ton dually with a few toys), and will outright clean the dodges clock. I stress for now! But I have to replace injectors on the red beast, so it will be a while before the Dodge can catch up. I'm about 30 miles from the Kansas border on I-70.
