I don't think ordinary recordings would be able to discern the difference. When I listen to a 5" vs. a 4", there seems to be a much deeper undertone beneath the 5", and I doubt that would record well.
Did you ever hear a recording of a jet engine? It still sounds like a jet, but nearly all the deep rumble is missing.
Sound recording has its limitations - AND even if it was recorded well, most home sound systems don't reproduce very low-frequency sound very well.

Thats awsome man... "like a school bus on steroids." Now do you have the 3" downpipe? I thinking about going with the 4" but ill this hype on the 5" sounds like the way to go for sound. Do regular exhaust shops do that size of pipe?

No 5 inch downpipe. The DP for the 5-inch system is 4 inches. It stays 4 inches until the pipe reaches the trans cross-member, then it opens out to 5 inches. THere just isn't room before the cross-member for a 5-inch pipe!

I paid about $430 delivered to my door - but no fancy chrome tip.
The only pix I have don't do it justice - but Kwik posted a picture of his foot inside his exhaust pipe. You get a good idea of pipe size with that pic.

My wife doesn't complain about the noise - diesel, turbo, or exhaust. She complains endlessly about how rough the truck rides.
My truck has a muffler. My wife doesn't.

My wife is definitely a "straight pipe" kind of girl...

Mark Romriell. The phone number I have is 208-522-1343 I believe this is his cell phone
He's also on ebay at MKO diesel performance.
I paid $400 to the door. I have the muffler but no tip.
Tenn01PSD350 has some pics of the stock pipes laying next to the 5" system in his driveway.

Muffler clamps again
Hey guys......I just got a quote and response from Mark about his clamps...he said they are "the standard exhaust clamps with a pin in them so they can not fall off. " I'm not sure what the standard clamps with a pin are? Just trying to understand what he meant about the pin part? Thanks again.....
