Exhaust question

i have my 4 inch exhaust pipe cut just behind the rear of the cab right now with no muffler. If i cut it further up maybe jsut under the front seat or so what would this to the sound? would it make it deeper or louder?

It would change the sound a bit ... But I would be afraid of the fumes going into the cab especially when not moving ... Do you really want to be sitting at a long light with smoke coming in your window?

Good point, id rather not suffocate at a red light. Maybe I will just keep the pipe at the rear of the cab and install a turndown onto the end of it to bounce the sound off the pavement.

That sounds like a better idea ... Or you could run stacks...

I would check your local laws.

In PA where I live, the exhaust cannot exit in front of the back of the cab. It must exit at least behind the cab.

I don't think its something that is enforced, but your never know.

I think stacks would be good.

If your looking to keep it a little more on the down low, I would just do the turn down, but if your willing to do the stacks, hell, why not. Just be prepared to be noticed
