Definitely interesting, and looks like it has some power! I never figured a supercharger would be so audibly noticeable though. I'm not sure I could get used to that sound.

Hey Buddy!
Dual's with your cats will only sound bad. If you want it to be louder, eliminate both cats and replace them with ONE highflow cat. This will make it louder and sound deeper!
Gonna watch your video now if my Hughestnet allows me.
EDIT: Watching your video now. I like the way it sounds. Two thumbs up!

I understand your desire to run dual tailpipes. These trucks look mean with dual pipes running out the back.
Have you heard my truck? I'm not sure you have. Dual out tailpipes. I'll post a couple videos for you to hear. You can decide for yourself if you like it or not.
I still say a single pipe would sound better. You get that "airplane" sound when you run duals on a six, even if they are just dual pipes, not dual mufflers.
It wouldn't sound BAD but I believe it would simply sound BETTER with one pipe.
Here you go buddy!
This was the best setup I ever had. Sounded like a cammed V-8 down low. Once you got her revved up it sounded like a Cummins diesel. I loved it. The only problem was a big one; it was so loud in the cab it was quite litterally painfull to drive the truck.
I hope this helps buddy.

. I was thinking about going to supper 44. Did it make the "airplane" sound with that set up. I think I am going to do something similar to that. I don't think it would be as loud in the cab if I ran them out the back. Would you happen to know how much louder a super 44 series compared to a 40 series in person?
Also I was told by a guy if I put a high flow cat on there then it might reduce my mpg. I'm finding that hard to believe since your reducing the restrictions in the exhaust system. What do you think?

Hey man. Do you watch Top Shot?
I used to run a Flowmaster 40 series. Unfortunately my friend I cannot tell you if the 44 is louder or deeper because I ran a highflow cat with the 40 and cut it off for the 44. The 44 is supposed to sound deeper but I wouldn't spend another $80 or more just to find out. I would stick with the 40.
Your truck will be very comfortable if you run the tailpipes straight out back. It won't sound quite as good but it won't sound bad and your ears won't bleed and you won't have constant migrains.
My truck would make the airplane sound while cruising or lugging past with the duals out the back.
By replacing both old factory cats with a highflow cat you will see better fuel mileage and better power all through the powerband. I know my butt dyno told me I picked up power with the highflow cat.
Do you not have the option to eliminate your cats alltogether? Just curious, I'm not suggesting you do this.

Which high flow cat would you go with? And I have heard of it making the check engine light come on.
No I am in a sniffer county. I have been told after so many years that I can take the cats off. Is that true?

Yes, it's true for the most part, but I would check with my local laws before deleting any cats. Once your truck is 20 years old you don't have to worry so much about the cats. Again, check your local laws first! The penalty for deleting emission equipment can be extremely costly when enforced. So be carefull!
I'm not the guy to ask about highflow cats though. You'll have to do your own research on that one. Just keep in mind what I said about the honeycombs!

I used a Magnaflow but I've heard there are better highflow cats. It has to do with the number of little squares per inch. The less there are the higher it will flow. I liked the Magnaflow well enough though.

Hey it ain't no problem, I love talking about this stuff! Especially when it comes to things I have experience with!
I can't wait to hear your truck. Just for the record, what are yougoing to do exactly?

It looks good. Those type of mufflers always sound good but it's hard to say if it would be loud enough for your tastes. Usually these types of mufflers are quieter.
I wouldn't worry about it. Run your pipes out back and you shouldn't have any drone. Your truck is longer than mine so I'm very confident you won't have drone problems. Nothing worth noting anyhow!
Edit: I just saw where that Dynomax muffler has a flapper in it. What is that all about? What is it for? I wouldn't trust that. What if it rusts itself shut?
