    Ya I really don't. Long story short as possible here. Got my truck with stock rusted out. Put flow super 44 dual out back. Had that for like a month. Then wanted louder cause I was 15 back then and ya. Got muffler replaced with y pipe with pinch tips. Holy nuts so annoying my head still buzzing. Then put 3" pipe from my cab back. That quieted I down a little and I got rid of the duals. So one exit pipe. Then I put a glass pack with the 3" pipe and didn't like it. So went back to 2.25 cat back no muffler with a 5" tip. Sorry for the rant. But now I am muffler shopping so I can tone it down but I feel it sounds the best how it is now I just want quieter

    I tried driving around with the cat-back exhaust off on the 2nd gen. Sounds like a nice diesel engine but the lack of back pressure makes the truck lag so much on acceleration. Kinda feels like you are towing an extremely heavy load.
    The 84' without the muffler sounds nice and loud. Kinda like it. Might put in a dump when i want it loud. Didn't feel much of a difference in acceleration.

    I feel no diff in accel or mpg just lost little low end. I jut can find a muffler I like. I wish I could make it sound like it is but a quieter version. Not sure how to accomplish tht. Maybe a 12" vibrant resonator

    I don't want the aeroTurbine haven't heard a video to convince me. I am almost set on a magna flow. 18" just so it will be quieter but not sure. Guess I will check out wicked flow. Is wicked flow a turbo muffler or chambered?

    Do you want it to be that quiet? An 18 or 22 will be pretty quiet. Wicked flow is not chambered. It's a strait thru design. Did you listen to the videos of my 13 inch?

    and If I saw you park I would probably shove an orange in your tailpipe dude. Why would you want to be annoying?




    For guys who don't want to get shot... heres my 18" magnaflow. Just the perfect balance of roar, but you let off the gas and you'll never think you had an aftermarket.

    I put a vote for other as i have the 18" wicked flow and it sounds good. Not loud at all at cruising speeds but when you get on it you can tell its not stock. to be honest i thought it was a little too quiet before i had headers but now with headers the 18 has really come to life not a lot of rasp really. Sound wise now its probably close to where a 13" would be normally without headers imo.
