I Want Quiet!!!
Ahem, now that I have everyones attention...
I've read different threads on mufflers and exhaust, but none seem to cover my need, and that's for quiet.
I use my machine offroad for hunting, so I need to creep into and out of the woods with as little sound as possible. Any ideas on what I need in the way of exhaust/mufflers to use?

I can't help but wonder, though. Vehicals like the edge ect. aren't aimed at someone with my lust for the quietest machine I can achieve. If I have to install 2 mufflers on it, I might. I wonder if my mileage will take much of a hit doing so as it is also my daily driver?

Mileage doesn't usually get affected much by exhaust changes (unless you chop it).
Use a stock muffler, a resonator, and as much pipe as humanly possible. Even if you have to do some retarded bends, extend that pipe! That'll outta make as noticable a difference as you can expect to see...err...hear.

More pipe? how about a 'y' with dual mufflers?

I think your best bet is to keep single exhaust, get a big f-ing muffler on there(like a stock one from an older V8 truck, new they are like $40) and throw a resonator on after that. If that don't quiet you down nothing will!

A muffler from a Super Duty or a Silverado would work nicely. Both have huge stock mufflers.
And one small thing you can think to do is to run the pipe so it exits on the opposite side of where your hunting grounds are...I know that sounds minute and insignificant, but every little bit helps. Personally, I'd get a muffler from a SD/Silverado, put dual resonators behind it, then wrap the pipe back and forth in a few S-curves under the bed, then split it down to two 1.5" pipes and run them out whichever side faces away from the area (in my case, the driver's side when I'm driving up to the deer stand).
