Don't straight pipe your truck

Learn from me. Muffler had a couple holes in it and was getting rusty so I decided to chop it a couple feet past the bank 2 o2 sensor.

It is literally so loud now that I cannot drive the truck without my ears hurting.

ordered a cheap resonator off Amazon (

$38 LCGP 2.5" inlet & outlet Universal Resonator, 16" Long Performance Muffler, Weld- On, Straight Through Design, Deep Tone

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07NY4Y7NV?ie=UTF8&th=1) and hoping this quiets it down a bit, if not I'll have to get another muffler put on.

 

Post audio before and after?

 

didnt get any before, but i'll update this thread with a before/after of the resonater. Currently it's high 70's/low 80s dB while driving. Damage to hearing occurs at 70db and above

 

You could go into any muffler shop and pick up a universal (magnaflow, flowmaster, etc) that'll quiet it down.

Cheap, quick, and easy to weld up.

If you lack the capability of welding, they'll weld it up for you for cheap.

 

Somebody let the squirrels out, and they are judgy.

 

Yep, coulda toldjda that

V6 turns into a fart cannon

 

How much should it cost ballpark wise? I'm on a budget right now

 

Muffler itself is the "expensive" part cause they'll make money on that, but to run new pipe and weld on a hanger (since you bought a muffler) I shouldn't expect more than $50-100 give or take.

 

I see, thats not bad at all. Although I didnt buy a muffler, just bought a resonator. If the resonator doesn't quite it considerably, then I'll take it to a shop

 

Dude, just buy some ear plugs.

 

Go to a paisa owned and operated shop, pennies on the dollar for the work.

 

Based on the rust underneath that thing...the area he's in has probably never had real Mexican food

 

Are you saying Mexicans are the only paisa's?

 

Different ethnicity will utilize different slang; I was specifically responding to paisa, being brown and all

 

I use it as a blanket term for all brown people lol

 

It's a fresh coat of fluid film, no rust. But you're right, not a lot of mexican food up here

 

Do it, your neighbors will appreciate it.

 

I just put a similar cheapo resonator on my ford 300 inline 6.

i was straight piping all year, couldn't really step on the gas if anyone was around (i was afraid to break windows).

let me tell you, i was SURPRISED how quiet the cheap little can made the truck.
it is still loud, but it isn't going to burst ear drums anymore and it stopped setting off car alarms in parking lots.

Butt/Lap joint clamps work just fine. no need to take the truck and pay anybody. get some stainless nuts/bolts. the ones that come with the clamps usually rust out and the can will come loose.

 

Can concur, these trucks sound like shit straght-piped

 

on my 3rz, I removed the cat so I only have a single 16in muffler and my LCE headers, and it was unbearably loud and abnoxious. It only took one lap around the block for me to put it back on. you can hear the mic on my phone start to cut out at the end of the video.
I have since then added a resonator which helps a lot.
