This is what I'm gonna try acheive with my truck. Except I'm gonna have a semi stack coming out the box! Tell me how you think this will sound: no cats, a small glasspack, and about 4 feet of 4 inch diameter semi mufler pipe coming up right behind the passenger in the bed. Sorry for hijacking this thread.

I love your idea though.

I think stacks (especially on a stepside) are one of the coolest things you can do to a truck! Did you see the Trick My Truck episode the other night? They took an older Dodge with a Cummins and made it look like a Peterbuilt. It even had dual rear axles. IMO they runined the truck for a work truck, but it made a great show truck! Anyway they put 7'' stacks on it too, that's why I brought that up. Just thinking in type!

Glasspacks are hit or miss in my opinion. Whether or not they are going to sound good depends on a lot of things. I don't think glasspacks would be ideal on a 300. I have a friend who thought it would be funny to put one on a '92 Chevy Cavilier with the 4 cylinder. It was the loudest thing in the world, of course it sounded terrible, but you got the funniest looks driving the thing around. The Cavilier is one of the three worst sounding glasspack setups I have heard, almost as bad was a '92-'94 F150 with the 300 and a '91 S15 Jimmy with the 4.3 V6.
I have also heard plenty of lousy sounding V8s with glasspacks, and quite a few that sounded real sweet. I have a 18" Cherry Bomb glasspack on the Explorer in my sig. I have had 2 Explorers and have tried a Dynomax turbo muffler, Flowmaster 40 series, and finally the glasspack on the 4.0s. The glasspack sounds the best by far. The Dynomax just sounded weak, and the interior resonance from the Flowmaster was awful on the 4.0. It currently has a 6 year old Cherry Bomb and it sounds pretty good, its now my wife's car and she can even tolerate it.
6CylBill's Flowmaster setup sounds awesome, if I were to create an exhaust for a 300, I would copy what he did.

If anyone decides to copy my system, let me just say it sounded downright good with the exhaust tips ran out the side (basically dumped). My truck sounds less apealing with the tips ran out the back, but the drone from the tips out the side was painful.

I understand that. I rarely work more than 42 hours a week, but even then I don't have time for much at all. Stay cool bro, talk to you tomorrow!
