Any feedback before I do anything dumb?
Hi everybody,
I have an '89 F-250 XLT with a 7.something liter V8. A while back my cat conv went **** up and I didn't have money to get it replaced, so my friendly mechanic installed true duals without any cats. In the attached picture, i have setup A, with two pipes and a no-brand muffler on each. It sounds so nice, it brings tears to my eyes. BUT. But, I want to make it louder, so I can truly enjoy it. Again, in the picture, I'm thinking of going to setup B, by cutting off the piping after the mufflers. So please tell me, what do you think that will do in terms of sound, performance, etc.

if you do that, i will more than likely make it considerably louder in the cab, and youll smell the exhaust, and it might not be much louder. youd be better off just replacing the mufflers with glasspacks, or cherrybombs or whatever.

you got the 7.5L 460 v-8. It will be much louder. I had a side exit, but then cut the pipe after muffler off and got a turndown under the cab. You can try replacing mufflers like chrono said.

Yeah, that's a bit ( a lot ) over my budget, I'm saving up for an ar-15 too 
I dunno, maybe I should leave it. Plus, it just started making a wierd noise in the rear end yesterday and braking funny, so I should worry about that for now

It will be louder. My friend had his exhaust dump right after the mufflers on his Chevelle. A cop at a road block noticed that they didnt exit after the passenger area, so when he had to put the tailpipes back on, it made it noticably quieter.
here ya go
