Default New exhaust, please help

Any v6 with duals is not going to sound like a truck. To me there is only like 2 v6's that I have heard that sounded pretty good with duals. The guy down the road from me has a v6 5 speed with duals and it sounds like a honda civic. Your better off to keep all your stock piping and just replace your muffler.

the reason why i always tell guys with the v6 to get the FM70 is b.c it will be better than stock muffler and its their quietest one, which is good for a v6. no one ever goes that route. if you do, post a video i want to hear it.

Your truck is NOT going to sound like this. That truck is a 4.7 V-8. I have the 3.7 and I have a Dynomax Super Turbo on it. Flowmasters do NOT sound good on a V-6 truck, they are chambered and do not have any sound insulation so they all have a tinny sound, even the 70 series. I posted videos of my truck a while back and you can hear the exhaust, I will see if I can find that thread.
