My pickup is louder now with Hooker Headers, 3" pipe and Flowmaster two chambers than it was with stock manifolds and 2.5" straight pipes. I ended up running the exhaust out the back because it was too loud in the cab with side exit exhaust.

Yeah I'm looking to do the same thing. I have headers with flowmaster mufflers and they exit the side of the bed. It's too damn loud, plan is to run them out the rear of the bumper soon.

mine is only loud when i get around 3000 rpm and then they get to talking good.... my local 5-0 doesn't mind them just as long as i don't do it in town between 9pm and 7am

I think the style tip plays alot into the final sound.. I had a friend that had a straight piped 460 with 3" miter tips.. he couldn't stand it after a month or so and it got glass packs lol..its really you're preference and how thick you're neighborhood is
