Got the 318 V8, looking to make it a mean machine. I don't got a whole lot of cash to spill out into this thing but I wanna make it sound mean. I know power makes loudness but what are some things I could do to make my truck loud, without losing power and all that dumb **** [Straight pipe, Open headers, etc.] I have a full K&N CAI, and a magnaflow cat with a super 10 to duals coming out the back. So air, and exhaust are down. I was thinking a Fastman Throttle Body, and headers. TB to keep air flow good and help MPG a little, and headers to increase sound. But, should I go with shortys or long tube? Which one gives me better sound/more torque?

What are your guys best advice to make my truck louder and give it some power?

Thanks, appreciate it all guys
There ya go.

Any chance the OP has read the plenum thread?

Point taken, but not many are like you. This forum is where I learned about it also. Along with a bunch of other useful info.

Edit: spelling

Same here. Had it not been for this forum I would probably still have no idea about the plenum.
