I think a muffler would sound much better, just remember the longer the glasspack the more it sounds like a muffler, so if you get a short 10 glasspack, it will be really loud. You cant see the turndowns because they are hidden up underneath the truck, in front of the axle.

Im pretty sure i am gonna get a glasspack muffler. i just talked to my dad about it and i think he's gonna let me, but i cant put a turndown on it, he wont let me do that (he legally owns the truck). so i guess from the glasspack ill just put a straight pipe with a chrome tip out the back, or should i angle it?

RE: cat. conv.
so u mean with a y pipe, can i buy one of those or does it have to be custom, and if not should i just angle it at a 45degree out the back right side? how much would a y pipe cost, and how much do u think this would all cost, a glasspack muffler, a y/or a straight pipe, with chrome tip/s, and installation?

Hey guys...sounds like y'all got an exhaust issue goin on. Tell y'all wut, this guy wants his truck to sound better and louder. I have 99 5.9 sport. I bought my truck with dual flowmasters on it. It sounded great like that but it wasnt loud enough for me, so i cut my dual pipes off and left the flowmaster on it. It sounded the same but it was definatly louder. After a couple days while driving, my truck started to sound VERY good i didnt know why! So i peeked up underneath and i realized my flowmaster had fallen off (crappy weld or something). So i have been driving with no muffler nor pipes, A.K.A. flowing right out of the cat with a 13" pipe coming off it. It is loud with the deep rumble...but the only issue is from 1300 - 1800 rpms there is a VERY slight rattle sound. The rattle isnt loud enough to **** me off but it exists. So i recommend completely taking off the muffler and pipes but leaving about 10" - 13" of pipe coming from the cat and it will sound excellent and loud with the rumble of the v8.

well here what i did to my truck. i had a high flow cat put on and then a 3 inch straight pipe out behind the rear passenger tire. the 3 inch gives it a deeper sound, plus i've been told it will give it more power.
sounds decent with the windows down, can't hear with the windows up. but can hear it quite a ways behind it.
