    I am in need of the best, and loudest exhaust for my truck.
    Im very new to exhaust upgrades and need HELP!
    Just looking for a nice, loud non-rice exhaust
    that could either set off car alarms or close to it, and it must be legal LOL!
    Thanks!

    Best exhaust would be subjective.

    Loud and legal may not happen due to local laws.

    Rice may be subjective as well.

    Many exhausts at idle and low rpm sound deep, yet higher rpm sound raspy.

    Go to a muffler shop, tell them what u want, ask them to clamp 3 or 4 different mufflers on ur cut tubing and start truck each time.... pick the sound u like, have welded on.

    U cant beat that.

    I wouldn't bother with youtube videos, the microphone on phones and gopros do not pickup the sound correctly, i guess due to the mic leveling?

    Anyhow, the sound on youtube video may also not be accurate due to your speakers and eq settings.


    Go to a muffler shop.

    Legal would depend on what state you live in. In Florida and many other states, anything louder than stock is illegal. Why do you want one loud enough to set off alarms? It will annoy anyone around you, will annoy you and will always sound ricey.

    hey,
    I personally like the sound of my magnaflow that's on my 2015 v6. I cant remember what model though. Youtube does give you a little help but as mentioned above its never the same as in person.

    I love my borla. It has kind of a throaty sound to it. I felt like a lot of the others I heard were too raspy
