HP 5.9 motor
That's one aspect of the whole point... Myself, the only peaks I care about are those visible outside the windows, so I'm more concerned with the shape of the horsepower curve than the peak value of it. Give me a strong midrange so I can attack the grades on the highways threading between those peaks without dropping gears to find the powerband, and I'm a happy grandpa.
But the major point remains: The only thing straight pipes are good for is keeping attractive women out of your truck. All they do is tell the world that you're either too broke to buy a muffler or too immature to have outgrown making loud noises to attract attention. Neither of those things is likely to get your chubster smooched by anything you're not paying to do it.

Not me, not my truck, and they're quieter in the cab without the tunnel echoing. My ears have been ringing since Nixon was in the White House so I'm not at all into rowdy exhaust systems, but I like the Gibson single.
UPDATED TO ADD: That guy's truck seems to be something of a mutt. Mine gets eager to stretch its legs a bit when I tickle it the way he's doing. Maybe it's just the video robbing me of depth perception... We now return to our regularly scheduled programming:
If'n yer in the market and want to hear more, I can probably get a video from inside the cab next time I find an excuse to leave town. A drive-by, though, is very unlikely before winter abates.

Any out there that you can recommend for a hack like me, that I can just cut out the old and clamp in the new? I would like a little freer-flowing but not much more volume/rumble. I am mostly doing highway speeds and the drone would get to me.
My welding skills stink.

Thrush hush turbo mufflers are pretty good. You can buy one from a parts store for like $40. Pretty quiet unless you romp on it. Sawzall the old one off and clamp the new on one.
