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?

How loud is 4" compared to 3" or even 5" compaired to 3"? I've seen lots of opinions about the sound of the priviouse sizes but couldn't find a direct comparison.

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
