Re: New Exhaust

40s are to damn loud, 70s still produce a nice sound but are not ear periceing like the 40s.

Re: New Exhaust

I would just buy the flowmaster mufflers or glass packs and then route the pipe yourself, it doesnt hafta be real particular as to where it goes. While your at it pick up a set of cut-outs, a nice buy.

Re: New Exhaust

Somewhere aroud the middle of the truck would be best. It should balance out the sound. Most people normally don't put mufflers real close to the engine. I'm not sure what moving it far back would do.

Re: New Exhaust

Let me know how it works out. Any planned time on doing your exhaust project? I was hoping to build my own cat back system but I don't have a welder where I live. I would have to use my school's in our Ag Science room.

Re: New Exhaust

Sounds interesting. Building exhaust to your own specs would be fun. Good luck with it, I seriously hope it turns out well for you.

Re: New Exhaust

Don’t put the muffler to close to the engine, you will get extreme cab noise! Also run the pipes over the rear axle, not under it… Keep good clearance from ur rear shocks, and don’t put too much leverage on your mounts for the pipes, because they will snap over time.

Oh, and I run 40s...if your going to do it, do it right
