Exhaust makes a truck much more enjoyable. Need to replace my front crank seal, degrease the engine and I'm gonna have Bobs put the new-in-box dynomax 3" y-pipe I got off CL on and weld it up, so theres no band clamps. Already have 3.5" from the cab back off a 95 7.3 my buddy had.

I can't hear mine unless the passenger window is down a little.

I can hear my green truck just enough, It's got a 1 in 2 out muffler.

I can't seem to hear anything in Ol' Blue though......

I dig the noise, a lot of years at the 1/4 mile race track in my teen and early 20's. Could have something to do with why I say "Huh" a lot now. But I had a blast.
I have no problem hearing Ka'Bluey, and I really like the tone that series 70 Flowmaster puts out, and it is a little louder in the cab than I want it, but that will change after I get the pipes welded up to the muffler today. But the sound I am wanting, is there.

Thanks Larry, I'm really pleased.
I'd go back to this shop again in a minute. They beat everybody's, price. And had a spot ready for my appointment and got me right in.

It's got the nice deep rumble that you were looking for. How does it sound on the highway with the RPM's up?

Kurt, hands down, this is the place I'd go to again for exhaust, or fabrication. They do it all.
Josh, it really doesn't sound bad inside at all. Under a load it becomes a little more verbal. Way better than it was without the pipes.
