Im strait piped with no silencer ring and running a BHAF.
It sounds ok, but I found that if you really want the sound of the big trucks you should get one of these:

Never thought of that one.

I have my doubts that I'd be able to park it in the parking garage here at work.

I ran the straight pipe for about a year..and it did sound good but at about 2k..it had that bad drone. Now that I have a 4" exhaust with a muffler..it does sound quieter but I still dont have the sound that I want.
I heard a truck (class 8) yesterday that sounded great..You could really hear the turbo spool up thru the stacks.
Something like a pair of miter cut 6" stacks would be nice..but it may get loud right behind the cab..

Rick,
I'm sure your exhaust makes a pretty good sound when under load... remember, those big trucks run loaded 99% of the time, so they're WORKING pretty hard most of the time...
anyhow, I would focus on adding some sound deadener to your truck and adding some mass to the pipe to keep it from vibrating so much...
I went from 5" stacks to a 5" straight pipe... the straight pipe was SO much louder at 2500rpm, it was unbelievable!!!
sound deadener and some stiff exhaust hangers, and now it's quieter inside than when I had a muffler on for a brief while!
nothin' wrong w/ stacks, but you might be able to get the sound you're lookin' for with the straight pipe...
even if you go w/ stacks, I'd still recomend some sound deadener. just makes life so much nicer! LOL!
