Summit 5" Exhaust
Is anyone else running the 5" exhaust from summit? I put mine on a couple of months ago. I'm not impressed with the sound. It's not loud at all. The only time I can really hear it at all is when I'm up against a wall or something. I used the muffler, but I could look straight through the muffler and see the other side, I can't imagine it would quiet it down much.

I put the 5 inch from Summit on in the spring. Yes , it is loud when up against a wall , but , that is when you are in the cab. My 13 yr old son drives mine up and down the street and it is LOUD when I am away from the cab.

I've got it on my '01.
I didn't think it was loud at all, till my wife was driving it (and I was at home).
I heard a semi coming down the road, and then figured out it was my truck...
As a side note, I don't have to use doorbells much anymore. My friends know when I'm in the neighborhood!
I think there is a 'loud' way to put in the muffler and a 'quiet' way.
I was a little concerned that the wife would flip her lid at the sound of it, so I sheepishly installed the muffler the 'quiet' way. Now I kinda wish I'd have flipped it around.
