I just put a 4" straight pipe exhaust on my 04.5 (no cat or muffler), stock 4" pipe with a MBRP 5" tip (extended 2-3" past stock exhaust tip). The exhaust is way too quiet for my liking. Any way to make this thing any louder (moving the mbrp tip, etc.)? Is a straight pipe 5" any louder without the drone? I don't want to go to stacks right now..the stock bed is small enought for me. I got a little spoiled running straight out the turbo while I was waiting to get the straight pipe in..lol.

Dang, man, I have a turbo back 4, and it is loud as heck! Drive with your windows down... I don't know, must be the turbo I have on mine.

The 5 inch will be a little louder, but deeper.


Hood stack it.

Tried with the slider open and windows down..still not impressed. I think the 5" tip may be muffling the sound, I am going to try removing it next (it was on the straight pipe when I bought it). The turbo sound is really muffled too..even after taking the silencer ring out it sounds stock. The hood stack would be my choice if it weren't for the **** laws in PA

the tip acts as a megaphone. remove the tip and I bet it is quieter. 5" it and get the drone the rest of us have! LOL. Mine is bearable but I also have 8" miterd stacks too.

checkster

could always run a stack thru the hood? that should liven it up a bit

madhat

Heck, just do a turn down underneath your truck, just after the cab. That'll fix it.

Mlucas

have you tried tunnel blasting with it yet.....
(WOT in a tunnel or overpass?)

coonazzmegacab

i agree with madhat, turn it down under the cab and it will be loud as hell.

dave78

you read my mind..may try this next

dave78

I live in PA... probably not an option..they may fail inspection for no cat

Turn down is loud as **** in the cab, but not outside, it just sounds like you have a hole in your exhaust. The 4" is louder in a higher pitch I have a 6"x24" magnaflow tip and my exhaust is louder than my brothers 5" exhaust w/ 7" tip but his is much deeper tone and throaty.

cbrahs

just get ready for your tailgate and undercarriage to be fragged by soot

tunnel blastin is fun, smarty up, quad on and a heavy foot.......... 5 inch straight pipe rocks.

If its too quiet for you now, it will only get quieter...as you lose more of your hearing!

When I changed out the turbo My five inch became unbearable, I may have to fine a muffler....
