Muffler Swap V.S. Full Exhaust System

i dont believe so, thats like a preference, just because someone has a few upgrades such as a new stereo deck does not increase the value,

 

Alright. I'm trying to keep my mods reversible for this truck and not effect resell value.

 

but to the right idiot and good convincing you can get whatever price you want out of your truck.

not saying your truck is bad, but if you talk right you can get that MONEY

 

I prefer this one, but I am a little biased...

I would say to get a system if you don't mind spending the money. But a muffler swap is cheaper but harder because you have to weld it on and fix up some hangers, and the stock cat back pipe is 2.25".

 

100! I don't think you will have to pay that much for one.... I bought one on TW for 40 bucks.

 

I would recommend Borla since Borla has a plant in our community. On the other hand, just swapping mufflers to be louder is really a mall cruiser type of thing to do.

On the other hand, my 68 dodge shortbed has headers and glass packs. It is tuned to match the stage 1 manifold and holley carb. However, it is NOT a daily driver.

Howad

 

its nice and loud but doesnt it average out at 400 bucks

 

i know a very good exhaust guy, he runs new pipe from the CAt back, and welds in the muffler with a new tip, only charges like 40 bucks too

 

doesn't it only make sense to get long tubes and offroad y-pipe if you're supercharged/turbocharged?

 

But still it's not 100% correct fooling the O2. Removing the cats you loose all your low end and don't gain a thing on a N/A vehicle.

 

So many different choices and opinions! I'm going to do just the muffler to save some cash.

 

Ordered a Wicked Flow 13 a few days ago and I hope I can get it installed this week.

 

I'll be welding on a straight through magnaflow in the next day or so. $78 for the same outcome makes sense to me over a cat back, but to each their own

 

agreed. i was gonnna go magnaflow, but after sound and some reviews of quality, wicked flow is the new purchase for me once i get paid

 

full system upgrade but no tip..... cut that shit to the axle, its a truck not a rice

 

Looks like you have pretty much made up your mind on the wicked OP, but I have a Dynomax Super Turbo muffler swap. Had it for about a year and love it. Not too loud, but yet not quiet...no drone.

Reason I chose what I did was from a write up by I believe Chris 4x4; anyway it explained that you got the most gain with hp, flow, and needed backpressure for our engine. I'm sure the thread is still on here somewhere. I have no complaints whats so ever.

Video's on YouTube somewhere...

 

I just got a brand new magnaflow for free of CL never opened the box. Put it on today myself sounds great.

 

Im loving my Wicked so far, you can definitely hear the throat. Not much at idle, but when your'e cruising or getting on it you can really hear it.

My take on mufflers is very simple;
For best performance, leave it stock.
For best sound (quiet), leave it stock.

Why pay good money to make it obnoxious/noisy?
