    Im looking to upgrade my stock exhaust. Does anyone have a recommendation for a great sounding off-road performance exhasust? Thanks for the help.

    I could cut and paste but I'm lazy. Got to the performance tab located to the left on the main page. 2nd down from top are sounds clips for various exhaust and lots of discussions about each one.

    Relentless Armored! Too many others to list.
    MBRP forward axle dump cat-back. Gets rid of the low hanging tip under the bedside and dumps the exhaust at the axle instead. Magnaflow also makes a similar kit

    Thank you ColoradoTaco, found it!

    Rock Lobster- thanks for the help. That TRD exhaust sounds nice. Any increase in hp?

    RelentlessFab- what's your opinion on the magnaflow cutback? I like how it dumps at the axle.

    As mentioned it is rated at about 7hp, which is nearly negligible. However it will be 7hp at peak, meaning even less where you spend the majority of the time in the RPM band, which will be unnoticeable in daily driving. (Assuming the truck is otherwise stock).

    Personally I prefer not to have the extra attention.

    Yeah I'd rather put 1600 bucks in the tank and drive the truck.

    Offroad performance exhaust would mean two things. First would be relocating the crossover pipe to prevent it from being smashed. Any competent muffler shop should be able to do that. The second thing would be to increase low end torque. Our trucks make their power starting at 2500 RPM. No aftermarket exhaust on the market will do that. As a matter of fact they all improve high end performance at the expense of low end performance. Exactly the opposite of what you are asking to do.
