All you gotta do to turn heads at Walmart is wash your truck.

Here is basically no modified exhausts at all. I've gotten compliments from cops though and other than them asking why I didn't have a muffler and me telling them I did they haven't said anything bad about it to me. However, it is louder than stock so technically illegal here. I know others have had problems with this in other states but usually it's on Honda's that I hear about it or cars like that. Not trucks. For inspection here they have to pass it as long as it isn't leaking no matter how loud but the police can give you tickets.

Selling it as a kit doesn't mean much. There are plenty of cat-back systems that are illegal in most states that are sold as kit for various vehicles.

Not sure on the laws for PA as some just have a decible limit and some basically say anything modified or louder than stock is illegal. I'm highly doubting the Super 44 is legal in many area's. I've heard of guys getting tickets for them before but not many.

I found that so it may be legal in PA. Or may not be. I'm not sure how loud it is if you measured it. That's what I found for PA though and they do have a noise limit.

Section B there has the noise limits.


Looks like you guys can have modified exhausts but have a noise limit on them. So you have to go by which muffler makes how much noise not by which muffler it is.

I bet if I cut those pipes off it will echo off the bed and the ground so I can actually hear it. I like the 44 sound so... I'll do the pipes first and if its not where I want it... I'll do the extreme. Sorry to thread jack by the way.

Btw, I think this is yours too... Think thats what im going to do.

yeah, that bottom one is mine too... It's a little longer now, and pretty soon I'm gonna run both pipes to right behind the passenger door...

if you go to a muffler shop they can expand the muffler to whatever size you need also if you order it and its big the can expand the pipe to fit it so it doesn't realy matter your not gonna lose or gain anything with just that little bit of differance

You are confusing back pressure with scavenging.

Back pressure = bad
Scavenging = good

Well, I want to say thanks guys. I'm probbly going to go with the magnaflow 14" SI/SO 2.5" in a XL 3 round version. Just want to be different. I have nothing wrong with the Flowmaster, great muffler and awesome sound. But then again everybody has the Flowmaster. Also I think I'll like the sound absoring packing vs. the chamber. And if I can get the muffler man to do it, I'll get the pipe to exit in front of the rear tire.
