Straight Pipe Sound/Video File Of My Truck!

Just got around to installing my straight pipe on my truck. I have included a video file so you will be able to hear what it sounds like. The quality isn’t all that great but you will be able to get an idea of what it is like. It is a large download so be patient (5.2MB). If the file doesn’t load directly from the page then right click and click (save target as) and then save it to your computer. There is no virus with this file.

***EDIT***

It seems to load faster if you right click "save target as"


Straight Pipe Sound/Video File


The straight pipe sounds completely different than it did on my 03. It is a very mellow sound much like an aftermarket muffler. I assume this is because of the cat. You can hardly hear it in the cab unless you really get on it.

I also bought the MPC Pipe from Geno’s. This made a bigger difference in the sound than I thought it would. You can definitely hear the turbo sing now. It is a night and day difference. I would highly recommend this upgrade!

i think it sounds like that because i had the camera so close to the exhaust pipe. it really isn't that loud. it sounds good but to be honest i would rather it be a little louder. the one benefit is i can really hear the turbo sing over the exhaust.

Once more... I’m telling you guys. You have got to get the MPC pipe. It makes all the difference in the world for the turbo sound! You will be impressed!

I have had a bunch of P.M.s & e-mails about it!

Got it to work.....noticed the dot was missing between the straightpipe.mpg. Hey, that sounds SWEET!

I made the decision yesterday to go with the aeroturbine and placed it on order. I'm going to install it right bechind the cat and see how that works out.....I'm thinking I will like it......If not, I'll just sell the truck and get a Hyundai.

From one Dually owner to another - thanks again!

BTW, I ordered the MPC pipe from Geno's yesterday.......I figured what the hey.....it's only $50 and you're right, looks good under there.

The 3rd gens don't sound too bad when you get on it.

i really think you will be happy. i know i sure am. the more i drive it i am kind of glad it isn't as loud as my 03 was. it has just the right amount of volume.
