    I really want to hear the engine rumble a little more. I was looking at exhaust systems and I can not afford most of them. Is a muffler delete a good idea or would it just be dumb? Any good systems you would recommend as an alternative. ( A link would be much appreciated!)

    Even if it's not against vehicle code in your state, your neighbors will set fire to your truck, and it'll sound like straight ass until they do. These V6s do not sound nice, esp without exhaust components.

    I wouldn’t. If anything it will hurt performance and I can almost guarantee it won’t be the sound you’re looking for. Put away a few bucks until you can get the one you want and you will be happier with the results.

    electric exhaust cut out, that way you can reverse your mistake with a flip of a switch.

    When people imagine the sound they want from their engine they undoubtedly think of a v8 rumble. This is impossible to achieve with a v6 and it will sound like hammered ass. Don’t bother checking your states laws, mufflerless is illegal in all 50 states.

    Apparently I'm in the minority here, but honestly I don't think it sounds that bad on the 4.0L. Then again Ive only heard it around town, never heard it tach'd right up. @MurderedTacoV2 knows :thumbsup:

    After working next to unfiltered V8 motors in trophy trucks my opinion is admittedly biased.
