Default How can i make my truck louder?

Okay i have a 1999, 5.2, And for my exhaust i have 2half inch stright pipe all the way back with no cat or muff. And my question is how can i make it louder with out running true dool, or side pipes. And still make it sound good. Would it make it any louder if i built a y pipe and ran 2inch dools back? I just dont no what to do, any suggestions would be great thanks.

The best advice I have for you is to get an off road H pipe or X pipe. Run both pipes back just behind the cab and put turn downs on it. The sound of your exhaust popping of the pavement is LOUD. After that, headers for better flow, or you can go the hot rod route. At my last shop we built a set of zoomy pipes for a 429 cobra jet. 8 pipes coming straight out of the engine compartment. It was so loud that it busted 2 guys ear drums at a burnout contest.

It will be loud for sure, but it will take 3 minutes to go from 0 to 60mph. LOL

why not just get a fart can with a carbon fiber exhaust tip.

so you are going to spend money JUST to be loud? For what reason? Attention? Do you not get enough at home? They have a program called boys and girls club of america to help you with that.
