Are stacks REALLY REALLY loud?

Looking at 2 6" miter cut stacks. I have no cat and no muffler right now. Will it be a big difference? Thanks guys.

Itll be loud, but how loud depends on the person.


Mine are loud, but to me, its not THAT loud inside the truck...
To others though....


Look at it this way, if its too loud, you can always add a muffler later.

Yes, it is very loud compared to stock exhaust with no muffler, especially with some weight behind. But you grow with it, and eventully it sounds quieter than it did before.

it wont rattle your truck apart but the big stacks are deep and the deepness cause's some vibs..I think the look is worth it.

my 7" stack is a lot louder/deeper then the 5" I had on for a while.....

I drove an older truck with stacks in it and it wasnt that bad at all. it was a 12 valve not a common rail. so there may be some differences
