Exhaust questions

Posted it in the what did you do to your 6.0 thread but only got one response so I'll try here

Trying to decide on what to todo with my exhaust. Currently I have a 4" turbo back to si-do flo pro muffler to the 4" dual tail pipes and 5" tips I'd like it a bit louder then it is now. First question I guess should I keep the dual tail pipes or go to a single tail pipe? Would it make any difference? I could easily pull the muffler out and cut a piece out of the tail pipe to fill the spot and run a single straight pipe. Or do they make a Y that I could replace the muffler with to run the dual tails but no muffler? Any input would be great

I would keep the duels, but that's just me. I don't think it makes a difference in power or EGT's. You can get a Y pipe and rig it to fit in place of the muffler.

If you want to hear what it sounds like just remove the muffler and run it a while. I had a straight pipe on mine and it was too loud for me.

After putting a muffler on my truck I am sold on the band clamps, much better then the U clamps.

I bought the 4" MBRP Turbo-Back system w/Dual Tails & when I ordered it they told me there's no real Performance Gain to the Dual-Tails but they do have more Sound (louder).
I must say this system combined w/Kitty Delete Pipe sound awesome (V8 Rumble w/Turbo whistle)

My dad has the Banks Monster (single) on his 6.0 & it's way too quiet

The problem I had was the drone at low RPMs. It was cool at first but got old quick. Then it got loud like a race car above 2k rpms. From off idle to 2k it really was not that loud, even with straight pipe.

FWIW mine was a 4" down to a 5" straight out the back.

Maybe I should look into the mbrp muffler and look at swapping out my flo pro then.
There's no kitty left on my truck lol
