need advice to go louder?

this is what i got so far:
Airraid CAI
2nd cats delete
H-Pipe
true dual piping
2 super 44 mufflers


if i get rid of my tips and put turn downs after my muffler will that make it louder. Or should i put my tips right on my mufflers, just an idea?

Display more information of your truck ( year, model & trim.. )

Your exhaust is exactly what my exhaust was going to be but I backed out for the Magnaflows, could you get a video of your exhaust sound?

Anyways, you will gain a modest volume increase with it dumped, dumped tips would sound more metallic as tips make exhausts sound.

If you want louder the most obvious answer would be to remove your mufflers and go with straight pipes. That is what I have and it is pretty loud. A set of Dynomax bullets would be louder too. They are a race muffler and really don't muffle anything too much.

i dont want to change anything about it just the tips. im gonna test both methods ill post the videos on youtube today or tomorrow of how it is right now, with dumped, and with the tips right on the muffler. i got a messed up cylinder that im about to fix some time during christmas. maybe thats why its not as loud.

Do your tips have resonators in them? Stock Marauder tips are resonated, and a lot of us change them out for the same kind, except non-resonated and it makes a big difference. You should be pretty loud as it is.

This is my first post here. Hello everyone. I just bought a used 06 super cab 5.4.....This thing is way too quiet!! I have looked on the f150 store but man I can't decide. I like Magnaflow but want some bark to it. I want to be able to hear it idle. (but not enough to rattle the windows in my house) and I want duals w/ side exit, cat back.

Is that wanting too much or can this be done and where can I order??

Thanks

You want the Flowmaster Super 44.

eBay company: magnumexhaust. There are others, but his kit is very good quality, and his prices are hard to beat. I paid $230 shipped to my door with pipes, all necessary clamps/hangers, extra pipes to weld the tips on, SS polished 3.5" tips and of course the Flow Super 44.
