Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Loud Trucks

[DieselTorque]

I just want to know how all of those guys make their ctd trucks sooo loud. Thanks.

All it takes is a little surgery. Remove the catalitic converter and the muffler. Replace with straight pipe.

stack it!

Start by removing the muffler. Then pull the cat--if you're not in an eco-nazi state.



If you get a drone at x rpm, clamp some angle iron to the pipe.



Then try a 4" or 5" system with or without a free-flowing muffler.



Then go nutz and stack that puppy for the ultimate surround sound.

Anyone can make one loud... . making them sound good is another thing

If its a Cummins and its loud it sounds good.

 

[WadePatton]

Yeah, LOUD PIPES save lives.



Some folks have issues with overloudness, but you can't make a Cummins sound BAD. It's just a matter of how much of a good thing you and your family and neighbors can take.



A V8 diesel on the other hand---you can't make sound GOOD.

Hehehe I have the best of both worlds. Mine is straightpiped with a little doo-dad that lowers the tone to make it sound more like an (8. 3?) Taking off it sounds like a log truck. Not that whooshing farting noise it had before. And NO drone. (my dad says its like listening to a healthy smallblock passing on the freeway)



Take care
