so if the tip only effects tone then how do i make it louder??? can i replace the 2.5in piping with 3in or should i just have all of it cut off and just dump it(i really wanted to stay away from dumping because its really loud in the cab)

Should have bought another muffler. Magnaflows are not known for being the loudest, but they sound good. Putting bigger pipe can make the sound deeper, but still not louder.
If you want loud, get a glasspack of a Flowmaster. IMO, the Magnaflow sounds better though.

i love the magnaflow... i think the reason i wasnt getting anysoud is becasue it was running through like 6 feet of pipe... so i ended up just cutting it off today and putting a turndown tip on it and it sounds really good... even tho its not real loud it still has a really clean tone

You should just straighr pipe it. The 97 4.6 I just picked up has no muffler and sounds great. Not at all loud.

One advantage of using a muffler that is often overlooked is its capabilities as a heat sync. Ever wonder why a flowmaster is constructed of heavier gauge material compared to other mufflers? It helps to draw heat away from the heads and are especially effective when used with headers. Just thought i would throw that as for food for thought.
