Why so loud? The 3rd gens are quiet, my 2nd gen is straight piped, it was loud but not that much louder. I just put 6" stacks on mine and it was a little louder again but the tone changed to more throaty. Is it the difference between 5" and 6"? Or did you 3rd gen guys just develop a soft ear?

Honestly I think its because I am used to such a quiet truck, But the 2nd gen I had, I loved the striaght pipe, But the 3rd gens sound terrible IMO for some reason

Ya know... . an extra spinny thing in the exhaust path would quiet that down nicely

HA! I am not as crazy to try to build a custom twins setup, lets see - air ride, twins, etc,etc - Crazy I tell ya!

The third gens sound terrible straight piped with the stock turbo IMO. Add a turbo that flows air however and oh the sweet lound music Much like the second gens.



Crazy Tom? Are you kidding? Who was that old country singer that said "I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane"!

I can see it now - when the wife sees the $3000 bill for the twins kit:

"but honey, you said it was too loud, So I bough ANOTHER muffling device, YOU JUST CAN'T BE HAPPY, CAN YOU!?!?!?!)



hahaha

 

[lmills]

ahh come on Tom, just get the parts little by little so she doesn't notice. As for the stacks... ... ... ... ... ..... you guys are killing me. Every time I see another truck with stacks, I grab for the hole saw and drill.

 

[Tomeygun]

looks good. It's time to see some smoke from them now

Well here it is FOLKs!!! smoke from stacks, and smoke from tires



And yes, Count'em... thats 3 shifts, ending in 5th(od) gear - I think I burnt a little life off the clutch though... opps :-laf

Good thing I ordered some 295 series NITTO's today

PS - Dont ever do that under-roof, I thought it would desipate, But it did not... Even leaked upstairs to the service dept. . uhh-ohh

 

[SRadke]

I'm sorry Tom we just have to do this to you. It's the least we can do after you've posted these pictures and forced Lloyd and I to saw holes in our perfectly good beds.

I was gonna say that shop looked really familiar. I would say at about the corner of Manslaughter road and Lindbergh? Do I win a prize?

By the way, RHINO, its partly your fault I wanted stacks... I still have your truck pics in my folder on the desktop... thanks alot!!!!

Nice stacks! glad to see you finally did it! The sound grows on you especially with the aftermarket turbo. mine has been straight piped for almost 2 yrs. now. I think I need a muffler for trips, but I love it open around town. You went with 6" right?
