Question Exhaust

hey, im lookin for some exhaust to put on my truck i have a 1999 F-250 7.3L Powerstroke and im not sure what i want to put on it. I want and exhaust with a deep tone so it sounds like a semi. I dont want stacks though, they wouldnt look good with the color of the truck, I jus want something good.

Yea, straight pipes and a big honking tip. They even make a Dudge sound good.

I recently straight piped my 02' PSD and I couldn't be more happy with the sound and performance. I also did the Kwikk filter mod to go along with it. It might just be my imagination because it sounds so awesome but, I think I picked up a little power!!

when you guys remove your muffler, do put flanges in so you go back to the muffler if needed or do you just add a length of 3.5 " pipe with clamps. I see that the muffler sits down by the rear axle angled up. Could be a little tricky. Also how much louder is it inside the truck,

When I took the muffler out I went and got a 3.5" piece of pipe about 2ft long and my buddy welded it into place at an upward angle. No clamps needed. BTW I also cut off a section of the tail pipe a welded a rolled edge chrome 5" tip. Got it from Simpson tool. As far as how loud it is in the cab( windows up ), you won't notice a difference at all. If you are cruising about 80mph with everything off in the cab you will barely hear a very mild low tone. So, what are you waitn' for get out there and set your baby free!!

I cut mine off a foot after the cab and bought a 3.5" turn down piece with a clamp. Man what a differance it made towing!! With the windows up I cant hear it untill I get to 2500 rpms, and then its not all that loud, untill you roll the window down. Also sounds like a semi with the turbo just howling out the exhaust. Tymar intake is going on this weekend. I wander how loud the turbo will be then??
