Straight pipes
I am looking at buying 4" or 5" straight pipes but are they too loud. My main concern is being able to talk on the phone. I drive 120 to 200 miles a day and need to be able to take business calls. Outside of the cab I would like it to sound like a semi

with my stacks and the windows rolled down running 75, i cant hear a thing. From the exhaust, motor, road noise, radio, and the wind, its near impossible to carry on a conversation. Now, if you roll up the windows its almost as quiet as stock. 
so go for it!

I just did a 4 inch straight pipe last week, and i was really worried about it being too loud but i really wanted the semi sound.
I definately got the sound i wanted and inside it sounds like stock, it gets pretty loud around 2000 rpm but only for a second and it doesnt interrupt your conversation.
If you do decide to go with the straight pipe, you will be very happy!

Why dont you guys buy www.blackclouddiesel.com 5-7" stacks with internal mufflers? You could allways remove them easily if you dont like it. Those mufflers are also cheap.

just do what i did cost me 80 bucks total. find a 4" downpipe for cheap a 4" to 5" adapter and a 5" 45* bend it exits right under the rear pass door. sounds awsome and it sets off car alarms when you get on it.
this is just a temp till i get my stacks needed to keep egts down. but worth every penny could probly sell it and get money back.
