if you were to just cut it off you would be getting people to look but not in the way you want it would be negative ..... just go throw some cash down on a flowmaster 40 2 1/2 pipe and you will be pleased with the money you spent

I know you don't want to listen and you want to do your own thing, and thats fine. But I (and many others) speak from experience. It will sound like **** and piss everyone else off.

For a glasspack to sound good you need a longer one, >$20, and it needs alot of air flow(i.e. big horsepower).

You can come listen to my XJ with 2.5 pipe a flowmaster 40 and a turndown after the muff if you want. I had a cheap muffler before that and it wasn't loud enough for me so I know where you're coming from. I've run it with no muff or cat before in an emergency and I hated it.

Also there is little power gain to be had. I'd say maybe ten horsepower from the entire exhaust. Cutting your airbox, plug wires, and a lower thermostat all made bigger differences IMO.

well i dont have the money for a FM 40 or somethin like that. all the money i do have to spend goes to gas which is allmost $4 a gallon here now...
unless any of you can sugest somethin in that price range that will still sound good. ( loud but not enough to piss people off )

The stock exhaust?


Any parts store will have a bolt in $20 muffler that will be louder than stock.

well then take your exhaust off and put a turn UP pipe on it and run it right into your cab and leave us alone....

If you come to utah I will be sure to call the police and report the noise every chance I get.... that is if you survive the exhaust leaking...

What he is trying to get at is no matter what we all say here you go and do the opposite and say it don't sound like ****. Well if it doesn't good, enjoy it but when you go to other states where the law is different don't ***** because you got pulled over. Don't come to our site and ask us questions and when you don't like what you hear insult one of us and our family. Enjoy your annoying exhaust and enjoy California. Seeya

Nothing is wrong with me... on this site we try hard to be legal with our rigs and do what is right... we try to teach young kids the correct and safe way of doing things... so we all told you the best and cheapest route yet you insult us and do the opposite of what we recommend... so stay in california and do what you wish but leave us alone specially if your not going to listen to reason and do what is right....

When you start getting headaches and feeling sick, you may want to pull over & get some fresh air. At that point you will begin seeing the early signs of Carbon Monoxide poisoning. There's a reason tailpipes run out the back of cars. Here, do your buddies a favor & read this fact sheet about CO poisoning so you're better educated about dieing from CO poisoning.

Carbon Monoxide kills said:
It is important that cars and trucks have a functional "tight" exhaust system.

I'm a young kid and I think it sounds like ****. You don't have to be old and "responsible" to realize what sounds completely stupid.

This thread reminds me why I think it should be legal to just ram certain people right into a telephone pole. It's making the crazy pop out in my brain.

Please watch the personal attacks. The advice is good but we don't need the bashing, we all learn somehow.

Bad Ass is all your perception, personally I think a cummins sounds like dork. Now a Ford 351 Cleveland w/headers and a two chamber sounds pretty bad ass. I think if the kid wants a particular sound, that is his deal.
