straight pipes/pipe set up
STRAIGHT PIPES!!!! ahhh!!!! hahahhahaha got a few more questions b4 i go get r done
1. cutting the stock Y off and gettin true duals the the back "straight pipes" is connecting them with an X somewhere going to do anything for me?
2. whats going to be louder/sound better , Getting true duals from behind the stock cats , cutting the muffler out replacing it with a straight pipe and having a single outlet , OR doing the same thing only throwing a Y on the end to make it a dual?
My friend has a newer f350 with the 5.4 with a 3inch straight pipe off the stock Y which i know is bad because it's a 3 inch which is a little big but when he hits this thing its loud as hell like a harley , My question is ... at idle his truck sounds weird because it's single outlet but.. if i do tru duals with 2.5 do you think mine will be just as loud , i hope to make it sound better by having duals cuz his sounds like @ss with the single
I know that was prob. confusing but i hear so many people saying they love there straight pipes but there are so many different configurations , HELP ME !

oh and one more thing , since i have a short bed , reg. cab , it's a shorter path for the exhaust from the engine to the tail pipe so is it safe to assume my truck will be louder than my friends truck , or is that just a stupid assumption floating around in my head lol mabye just wishful thinking haha

yep delete y pipe, run pipes over to right, x pipe then around the passenger door area, then run to the back, and running mufflers would be the best, you can have a good sound, and with your model truck yeah about 3.5ft shorter it should be a little louder, my supercab F250 is as long as my F150 supercrew, 250 has a longer bed, 150 has a bigger cab

I wanna throw mufflers on but I have this feeling in the back of my head that I'm gonna end up yankin em' just because I'm gonna want that extra little bit of sound , I have a great setup on my mustang (1990 gt) so I just want the truck to scream , so ill have one car with a nice sound and one with the ***** lol but yea you think 2.5 all the way through to 3.5 tips would be alright ?
