Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Awesome 5" Straight Pipe Sound

[EGaskamp]

I just had to say how awesome my truck sounds now with a straight pipe and 5"! It's way better than the Magnaflow muffler. Just one question though. Why does it smoke more without a muffler? Does the muffler catch some of the smoke? Just a silly question. Thanks

yes, mufflers capture more of the soot... I notice it a lot more on startup.

Yeah, I saw a lot more on start up. I love it!

Ah I love that sound! Nothing I like better than hearing a muffler-less cummins hummin down the road! "I dont smoke, but my truck does"

I let my buddy drive my truck so I could hear what it sounded like and the sound definitely didn't match the truck. Don't get me wrong it sounded awesome - it's just funny seeing a pickup truck that sounds like a mufflerless semi. Mine sure turns alot of heads and pisses people off!!! It's like music to my ear.

HEY... That's my sig... :-laf

 

[Forrest Nearing]

well, I wouldn't be so bold to say that my truck actually sounds like a semi... there are noises that a 14-19 liter engine makes that a little 6 liter engine just can't make...



but, it definately sounds like a big dump truck or something...



sounds GOOD, but even w/ the stacks, it sounded more like a "baby" 18 wheeler than the real deal...

Not a problem! BTW, yes I have a straight pipe 5" system also... LOVE IT!

I normally don't like to brag but when my truck dynoed it was the first i heard it from outside the truck. After hearing a lot of others, mine was one of the sweetest sounding of all.



I love the 5" straight sound!

after i put my stacks on i fell in love, and now i think i have a hearing problem ..... im lovin every minute of it!!!! an i WILL NOT go back i just need a amp in my cell phone speaker cause i cant hear a thing on the freeway at 80 or 85 :-laf

Eric. . the way the regulators are in the pumps. . it will just add the pressure of the two pumps together... They are just a ball and spring... outlet pressure on one side. . inlet on the other (plus the spring. )... Pusher is 8 psi. . stocker is 14psi. . Inlet to first pump 0 psi outlet 8psi... . inlet to the second. . 8 psi... outlet 22...

Who makes 5" kits and do they sell them without the mifflers? I mean, do they sell the 5" piece to replace the muffler so I can straight pipe it?



Thanks

Before the stacks, I had a 5" www.bigexhaust.com system. They sell other brands as well. I got the kit with the Muffler delete pipe. The drone was horibble at around 2100-2200 RPMs, but the Dynaflex resonator fixed that. It sounds great.



Now, with the stacks, it's even better. Oo.
