Got some free time today. Was thinking of going to a 5 inch system later on in the year when I get my $600 from the govt.

Anyway I want to louden up my truck some now. Thinking of running it down to an exhaust shop and telling them to just throw a 4 inch pipe in place of the muffler on.

How much should I expect to spend and will this be annoyingly loud?

 

Heh, calling around no one in town can bend 4 inch pipe ... Maybe this is a no go unless they can angle it in properly.

 

as far as noise and all that im not sure, but when i took my cousins truck to switch mufflers on that they did it for 20 bucks. his trucks gas but dont think it would make a difference... good luck

 

Howdy, I had mine done, cost about $75 bucks. Go do it!!

 

That was the problem I had. Nobody could bend 4" pipe. The shop that done mine just used a straight piece of pipe and angled it as much as possible. It pulled the tailpipe around just a tad, but looked good.

 

Just get a straight piece of 4" and swell both ends then clamp it. It works fine this way.

 

So they can angle it? Called like 15 places here and a couple towns over and none of them can bend 4 inch pipe.

Guess I'll get it angled and done this weekend since it's almost 5 now.


Also, it's not going to resonate the heck out of my truck on the freeway will it?

 

No it sounds good.

 

Cut an angle on both ends and itll line up just fine.

I did mine like that in my buddies driveway the 2nd day I had my '05, took about 4ft of pipe(cut some off to fit), cut appropriate angles on either side, then borrowed his welder and buttoned it up.

 

Thanks yall... About time to open this thing up and let it sing I reckon.

 

Just put that $75 to 100 into you savings account for a 5" system factory straight pipe just gets annoying.

 

cost me 80 bucks and that after they welded my magnaflow together since i just clamped it when i put it on myself. All they need is a straight piece of 4 inch pipe.

and the only time i find that the exhaust will drone is when im hauling and at about 1600 rpm on the highway while accelerating. Cant beat the sound!!

 

i wouldn't pay $75 for someone to angle cut and weld in a 4 inch pipe. Maybe $40.

 

we can do it with a torch and welder at a small shop just outside college station city limits for no charge at all this job takes place a couple times a month ...you supply the 4" pipe though

 

Cool so they welded up the system and gave you some 4 inch pipe for 80.
