I just bought a 99 ram and it came with dual exhaust. What i want to do is make it louder. What are some options i have. Im pretty new to the truck performance world most of my experience has been with DSM's. Any help is appreciated.</P>

i suppose it would help to know the i have a 99 Ram, 1500 ext cab, short bed, 5.9L V8. </P>

I'm guessing the duals are not thefactory exhaust. Can you tell what brand/type of muffler is on it? There have been alot of posts recently with this same topic. Do a search for "exhaust" and check out what other members have. </P>


Here is a sound clip of mine (see signature):</P>

How can i get mine to sound like that? i want mine alot louder, you can hardly hear it at idle, i want it to roar when i give it gas.

 

I'd roll underneath your truck, take a look and see if
your muffler is welded or clamped on. If it's welded,
you can do some cutting or just get all new exhaust.
I have a Flowmaster American Thunder kit that
comes with a 50 series, but the Original 40 Series is
louder.

 

what is a good size piping to use? there is a muffler shop right down the road and they will make custom exhaust. Iwas thinking either 3 1/2 or 4 inch pipes. how much of a difference is that in sound? i want something that will roar when i get on it, and sounds pretty mean even at an idle.

 

I wouldn't go with too big of pipes because you will lose too much backpressure which results in a loss of torque. The most common size seems to be a single 3 1/2" intake with dual 2 1/2" exits.

 

I have a 14" magnaflow with a 3" inlet and dual 2.5" outlet, I noticed a difference in performance right away and sounds great.</P>
