Truck Guys Com'on.......

[ssiredfish]

Okay maybe my post was misleading......Im not changin the headers or anything in front of the muffler. I was more looking to see if you guys rec'd Borla, Flowmaster, etc.....then having the pipes come straight out the back of the truck instead of to the side. Does that help?

Pipes straight out the back does help some with the drone VS out the sides. The stock exhaust is 3.5" out the back, personally I would split it off after the muffler and go out the back with dual 2 1/4" or 2 1/2" pipes if you want duals or a single 3.5" for a single as it is MORE than big enough to flow whatever a 6.0 will need(GM used the same exhaust for the 6.0, 8.1, and DURAMAX in the early years, just a different muffler for the DURAMAX). As for which muffler, I becam,e a fan of MAGNAFLOWS. They have a real deep bassy tone to them without the cackle that alot of them get, and they don't drone as bad as some others do. FLOWMASTER will always have that beer can rasp to them which is fine if you like it, but I personally don't care for it anymore. Also there is a new company out callled JONES FULL BOAR that is making knock-off copies of all the big name mufflers for about 1/3rd the cost. I just bought a set of MAGNAFLOW knock-offs from performance curve for less than half of what 1 magnaflow would have cost.

the muffler on my powerstroke is a donaldson... I have 4" mandrel bent exhaust from the turbo back... the truck is barely louder than stock with a great performance tone and the muffler I got flows 99% of what a straight pipe flows which is about 250% of what the stock exhaust flows... it was a bit pricey but well worth it.... It's not loud enough to piss of my neighbors but people tell me all the time that it sounds really mean.

as for duals straight out the back, I've always heard that refered to as sweethearts.... Personally I wouldn't waste any money on big names... NONE of them will do anything for performance. just go to a local muffler shop. Have them whack off the offending side exit tail pipes and bend up some that exit where you want.

As for a muffler... you have to decide what you want it to sound like.... loud quiet mellow or rowdy.... heck I dunno, maybe you want a thrush glass pack for that badah badah badah coolguy rumble :D

Ssiredfish, what engine do you have? I am thinking its diesel for some reason.

[ssiredfish]

Its gas......

I would like it to sound low and throaty of course. Im not really one for the poppy sound......

Not tryin to get that screamin sound I would just like like it a tad lower and a touch louder than what it came with.

MAGNAFLOW or a JONES FULL BOAR MF series muffler would be my suggestion. There the same muffler basically, but theJONES costs 1/3rd what the MAGNAFLOW does. See if you can find a muffler shop that does dual exhaust as dual 2 1/4" pipes will be plenty out the back as you already have 3 1/2" coming back from the engine now.
