anybody run them on ther trucks?hows it sound?Gots any sound clips?thanks MIKE

 

Pretty much everybody on here runs straight pipe and they love it. Myself included. I went to 4" straight pipe over 2 years ago and I haven't looked back. The sound is amazing. I highly recommened you do it.

 

not sure how it'll sound on that gasser....

5" sounds great on my CTD though

 

i hav straight on my 360 ram an love it,i was surprized how good it sounded so i left it!

 

stright 4 in. here great douns on my single cab 92 im even thinking of cutting it before the rear tire. he he, jiMMy

 

A straight pipe sounds very good on these trucks. I mean, its just simply awsome. My friend heard me coming a mile away (it gets loud when you lay on the pedal) and he thought it was a tuned up tractor trailer!

 

I had mine done about a month after buying it.. sounds great,But of course you can expect it to be loud.. and it is.I also have the silencer ring removed and a better air intake,which helps.

 

I envy the 1st and 2nd gen guys. The straight pipes on your trucks sound awesome. I straight piped my third gen and hated the sound. It (to me) sounded ''raspy'' or ''ricey''. Put on a 4''by 36'' straight through glasspack to put the bass back. Not as loud but sounds good.

 

3rd gens still sound good straight piped IMHO... different, but good!

I wonder how it sounds on the 04.5's? I really miss the deep throaty "growl" from the 01 I had.

 

sounds good!

 

The 3rd gens need some backpressure...they sound much better with an after market exhaust system rather than straight piped....1st and 2nd gen's sound great straight piped tho....

 

I disagree on the 3rd gens... w/ an aftermarket muffler, they sound like a riced out V6 w/ a fart pipe... straight pipe covers up some of the "flutter" from the pilot injection.

I really like my 3rd gen with the 4" straight pipe, it gives it a little more of the sound it deserves. I don't really think you can get a "ricer-ish" sound from a 5.9 cubic inch engine, though.

 

No, from a 5.9 cubic inch engine, you would get a sound much like a chainsaw....

From a 5.9 liter engine though, it barks a bit. I liked the sounds of my buddy's 98 1st series with the 12 valve. Have not run in to too many 24v trucks that are piped. Most continue to run mufflers.

3rd gen units sound odd no matter what you do. waaayyyy too quiet to begin with.
