holly crap!!!

so i have a streight piped '' 4inch'' no cat or nothin and intake ''6637'' and thats it..... well the otherday my bro drove my truck and i was in my yota wheeler next to him... he guns it and holly crap!!! that thing is so damn loud.... it actually hurt my left ear... im only 22 also and dont have senstive ears... my ear hurt for a min or so.... i used to have a edge and on the 5 setting the thing was way louder than now so i can only imagine how that would hurt my ear..... this makes me feel better now that i know how loud it is when im next to it... ''i tend to gun it past idiots on there phones and people who are going hella slow'' i always thought it pissed them off doing that but now i know it would really **** me off if i had my window down!! all i have to say is i love my 7.3!! i dont drive it much ne more but i sure do love the damn thing!!!! 7.3 sounds waaay better than that 6.0 thing..

I just installed my exhaust today a 4" magnaflow and I got stuck next to a box truck sort of... I kept it in second gear just to hear it. Damn that truck driver was mad, but I was having a good time.

Yeah its crazy how loud our trucks are. I very rarely take my truck into the city (Chicago) but when I do it amazes me how loud it is. You canhear the sound bouncing off all the buildings and cars.

Our trucks are beasts!

Good Story!

And reps sent for having the yota wheeler!! (I miss mine)

Yep, it's a lot louder with a 4" straight pipe.....especially when it's cold and the high idle kicks in.
Can't hardly talk to someone near my truck when it's cold.

Whenever we are in town I always have to roll the passenger side window down so I can hear the exhaust bounce off the buildings, the wife hates it, it messes up her hair.
