ok.....here's the story. I had dual exhaust on my truck for over a year. It was your basic one cat, Y-pipe, no muffler or glass pack or anything. Well, my truck was very very loud and I got pulled over for it and was given a ticket and told to fix it. So I put a Vortex Cherry Bomb muffler (I hate how quiet it made my truck) on instead. To do this, they cut about a 2 1/2 foot section of the Y pipe out and then put the muffler in place of it.

Now, here's the question, what is the best way to making it loud again without taking the muffler off? I only am leaving the muffler on because if I get pulled over again, I can tell the cops that I do have a muffler. So basically, I want the muffler to only be for looks only (in case I get pulled over) So here's what I was thinking.

Option A: Gut the inside of the muffler. BUT.....how will this make my truck sound?? I want it loud but not sound like s***.

Option B: Shove a 2 1/2 piece of straigh pipe thru the muffler and then reconnect it. (Hard to explain over the net). But if you can picture it like that, how will that sound and will it work??

Option C: Take the muffler off and buy a glasspack instead. If I do this, isn't there a way to eat up the glass inside so that it will basically just be a straight pipe again?

Any help would be great. Just remember, I want LOUDNESS and QUALITY.

Thanks, Garrett

 

I bet your neighbors love you.

 

My grandparents are my neighbors....so yes they do. Any HELP would be great.

 

i suggest running a cut out of some sort that it what i'm doin w/ my ram.

 

Make some custom exhaust headers that turn straight up and run them right through the hood. Side benefit: you can toast marshmallows over the flames that will shoot out.

 

A little extreme,... but I like it.

 

serious here....

if you have a Cherry Bomb on there,

get the motor really hot

stick a garden hose up the pipe

turn it on

it will break up the fiberglass

and be a lot louder

That just doesn't sound like it would be too healthy for my truck.

 

ive done it on 3 of my old chevys (with brand new 350's)

dont fill the exhaust ports lol

just enough to hit the muffler
