Deep and Loud
#18
If you really want it loud then maggie is probably not for you. It sounds good but it doesn't have a lot of volume. If you want it deep and loud then go with a dynomax race bullet, or run no mufflers. If you do true duals then you need to put in an x or h pipe or it will pop a lot. My setup is in my sig if you want to check it out.

Dual bullets would cost you $80 for the bullets ( $40 each ) about $200 for a dual system fabbed and installed, $40 for a shop made H or X pipe, $70 for the Magnaflow stainless X pipe.
Man that does sound awesome. Better than the Flowmaster 10 series, kind of like a single chamber original 40 series ( does not exist, just saying it could be one ). 1 chamber 1 baffle. Fuggin nice!
hope this works http://s336.photobucket.com/albums/n345/06xlt/

No problem, everyone has to start learning somewhere. Straights means no mufflers, it has nothing to do with the cats. Depending on when in 05 your truck was built it will either have 2 or 4 cats, early months in the 05 model have 4, later they switched to just 2. Mine only came with 2, the easy way to check is just to crawl under and count them, they will be little canisters after the manifolds. If yours only has 2 then it will sound just like mine if you run the same setup I did, if it has 4 then it will be a little quieter. My shop charged me 250 if I remember correctly to bend two pipes, build an x-pipe and for 2 3.5" tips. If you click "view album" on my photobucket page there are more vids of my truck. Hope I helped, if you have any more questions just ask.

No it will sound the same, if you get the exhaust made from stainless it will last longer. This doesn't really matter that much unless you live in an area where they use salt on the roads a lot. My last truck had regular steel exhaust on it and it is still holding up fine after 9 years.

Birddog love your sound. I'll probably look into getting either that or the bullets, idk yet. My first choice was catbacked but now I just don't know. Thanks for the help. The few days I have been on here I have learned alot. Hell, I didn't even know you could re-gear a truck! Lol : D
