The vids are great guys! Keep them coming. I would really like to hear a video of a 4" exhaust system that has a muffler in it. I would like to just compare that to the straight pipe to see how much the muffler cuts down on the whistle as opposed to just silencing the tone.

Put that same muffler on an OBS and it did the same thing. Weirdest 7.3L exhaust sound I've ever heard. LOL Not sure what brand muffler it was though.

That would be pretty cool. I don't mind having a little tone to it too, but the whistle is what I am after.

Trust me, that muffler, though it made tons of whistle and no real exhaust tone, sounded stupid. You need that rumble for it to sound right.

Here is one of the only ones I can find of an OBS 7.3 with a 4" system that is still using the muffler. This one is a Diamond Eye system.

Here is another one I have found. This one is a Magnaflow system (too rich for my blood) but really doesn't sound all that great in my opinion.

And here is a decent one of an MBRP from a very creative angle.

A couple more of the MBRP system. I think I like that sound the best of any of them yet. Nice mellow tone at part throttle, yet sounds good at WOT. Nice turbo sounds too (although I realize these are from a SD truck...)

Sorry guys I have to admit it. I went all soft and put the stock pipe and muffler back on. Still sounds pretty good with the 3" DP and 6637, but it was just too obnoxious for what I use it for with the 4.5" straight pipe. I swear, it's the strangest thing. It sure seems to me like this ting runs better with the little bit of back pressure that the stock system provides. The transmission shifts better (doesn't hang onto the gears as long) and it just seems to make better power. It really seems counter-intuitive, but I swear that's the case.

The truck just seems to have better manners this way. I do miss that ungodly turbo whistle though.

Alright, I'll throw my videos in too! lol

With just the 3" DP

this one was the 3" DP with the stock 3.5" intermediate pipe.

3" DP and just a 5"cat delete pipe

and finally, the current setup. 3" DP to a 5" straight kit from Diamond Eye. I like this one best. It's quiet when you want, but when you get on it, it'll roar.
