Default 5.9 L Dual Exhaust

I have an 02 quad cab with the 360 in it. What is a good cat-back system that I can put on the truck and not lose low end torque. I pull a 30' travel trailer so it would be great not to lose that power. I do not want it to be extreemly loud, but throaty would be nice.

thanks for the help

magnaflow. just find a decent exhaust shop nearby and have them do it all. it won't be stainless, but i neither is your current exhaust. and it'll be cheaper. should end up bein aroun $350 from what I've heard some people get around here.

Did it just have a little rumble or was it really loud. I have to drive it everyday with my family. My wife has an inner ear problem and if it is to loud she cant ride in it. (which might not be a bad thing )

It is a catback and I do not think it is that loud...inside the cab. Pipes exit out the rear. Once I get to cruising speed and RPM it was just a little louder than stock. It is difficult to to tell one persons loud from another though.

It does get a little louder when pulling my camper 1) because of not using overdrive and 2) because the sound was probably echoing off the trailer.

Got the system on ebay from a muffler shop in Cedar Rapids, IA

Good Luck

How do you get the pictures of your truck to post?
