cheap way to make my truck loud
Well I got pulled over the other day for racing my freinds silverado. I was going to get dynomax bullits with si/do but all that money is going towards the ticket. I got too excited about having a exhaust system so I need a cheap one now. I was thinking about just cutting off my muffler and replacing it with a glasspack or somthing cheap like that then dumping it. I was just wondering what were your guys ideas about what muffler to use. I have a 2001 screw 4.6 thanks for any help.
Why do you want or need your truck to be "loud" ?
In my opinion thats just another ticket waiting to happen. Theres a big differance between "loud" and the throaty roar of a quality exhaust.
A cheap solution is going to result in a poor quality end result. Just leave it the way it is until you have the money to do it right.
And then next time you want to race, take it to a track instead of putting your life and the lives of innocent people at risk. Your lucky all you got was a ticket !

I mean, damn, when I buy a $45k truck you actually expect ME to look at the window sticker? Geez...
I'm pulling a Travel Trailer that weights about 6500 lbs loaded. My 2010 Platinum has 3.31 gears in it, and I'm not happy. I have about 9,200 miles on it, and I'm getting 6 MPG with E-85, and about 8 MPG with regular 87 octane. Does the milage get any better? And why would they put 3.31 on a Platinum anyway??

this is another special person
what I wanted to post
"nope, no one else finds the check engine light an issue, in fact it helps us see the guages in the dark"
I own a 2005 F-150 STX that got out of the shop last week. The A/C compressor was leaking and I had to have a new compressor and drier installed. A week later, the CEL suddenly comes on while I'm driving. I checked the fuel cap for tightness and a quick inspection under the hood showed no obvious leaks. Is this a known issue to anyone else?

This is exactly why I wouldn't put a BD in my truck.

Guess it's time for reinforcements...
You are right.. those tuners are CUSTOM. im not denying that at all.
The only point i try to get across is that not everybody needs or wants that level of custom tuning. And that saying we dont tune trucks is far fetched.
*edit* I cant answer those questions, the engineering/tuning side of things is not my department. sorry

I know modern on-board CPU's are pretty hard to mess with other than maybe a performance chip. However, I'm in a group with a bunch of computer nerds who find it challenging to re-write code and crack/hack software. It seems to me that I could plug my laptop into my F150's CPU adapter and run a certain software that will display all the factory settings. Then, I can re-program the factory settings to work for what I want to do. Example, increase the ignition timing curve or adjust EGR settings....etc. Anything out there that will do something like what I just described or we just handcuffed to the factory settings?
