Cut Exhaust?

Recommended Posts

So when I bought my truck it had the exhaust already and the two mufflers coming out the back.. I still havent done anything to them, I was telling an old friend that i didnt like them. He told me that he could cut of the mufflers about 4-6 inches before the mufflers. that it would hide the exhaust and give it good sound. Then when it was time for emmesions that we could just clamp them back on? Is this a good idea?

Everyone has their own opinion on muffler. Don't worry about what everyone else thinks and get what sounds good to you since you're the one that has to listen to it all the time. Also don't buy it from a shop as they will rape you on the price. You can usually buy a good muffler off ebay for $50 - $100. I bought my flowmaster 44 from Loper's many moons ago for like $70 then took it down to a local muffler shop that charged me about $100 to weld it in a run 3'' pipe behind the tire in the stock location. I was also able to talk them into giving me an old tip that they had laying around. Polished it up and now it looks great.

I beg to differ on the tip not mattering for sound, the tip is what resonates and directs the sound, think of like a trumpets bell, without the bell it wouldn't sound at all like it should.

 

I didn't play an instrument lol. I'm not going to argue since in a weird way it makes sense.
