yeah so I got the bug and cut that big old muffler out of there....since soooooooooo many guys complain about getting the stock muffler off without cutting, I just hacked it off with my Milwaukee portable band saw super easy
bought me a piece of 4" for $20 bucks got it cut to fit and welded it in....

So I jump in fire it up and right off I could tell it sounds super deep and really pretty quiet still(nothing like my 01 straight piped)
I took it for a test drive and was really impressed, it sounded like a brand new exhaust system.
now this is what I am thinking... my truck is a lot more quiet compared to my buddy's 05 that has been straight piped...the only difference is mine has a resonator on the rear over the axle section of pipe. I think this resonator makes for a sweet sounding exhaust!!! I am really happy with the way it sounds.
no drone that I can hear but I have not towed with it yet ether.

so in a month or so I may do a Black single stack and this resonator is going to be part of it
this is what I will do..
Cat, Resonator, Stack


anybody on the fence about straight piping your mega should just do it...they sound AWESOME

 

Ok let's hear it

 

I guess I gotta get the cam out and do a sound clip for this and my intake set-up....this is the 2nd request this week

 

I noticed the same compared to my brothers 04.5.

I put a 6'in tip on mine and it sounds like a boat! The wife says it's louder then my 02 when I get on it!

 

I put a straight pipe on mine Saturday you talk about load! I think i could wake the DEAD! So i ordered a muffler BULLYDOG IF anybody knows were i can get a good deal on a muffler let me know.

 

Can you get the 4" flared to fit? I want to drop the Banks Monster Muffler off mine, and replace with straight pipe.

 

I should have said im running 5in pipe

 

Thanks for the input. I keep waiting to do the same thing once I have gauges so I can see if there is a EGT drop with it, but man I am tempted to go have it cut out, local guy said $50 total to do the job.

 

do you still have the stock resonator on yours??? or is it 5" all the way?? I'm sure that is what is making the diff between my buddy's 05 and my 06....the resonator.

 

quick estament is about 75* on mine. I was doing 75MPH last night on the freeway and the pyro was at 600*-650*
with 315 tires....

just do it it sounds sweet

 

53 ****** It is straight all the way! EGTs seem down alot.

 

Just do it! It sounds sweet. I left the resonator on also. $60 at local muffler shop out the door!

Hay

 

Full straight is IS loud!!!!
do you drone???

 

I did full straight,

Out the door impressions....I like it. However, it does have a raspy note around 2800. I think I am going to add a muffler of some sort, or maybe twin 6" stacks. If I do stacks it will be the miter cut and I may have stainless dinger flaps added due to the monsoon season here. Dont want 10 gallons of water in the exhaust!

 

man cant wait for my muff delete to get off backorder at genos
