Is there any drone with a straight pipe exhaust?
I've heard a cummins from the outside that I THINK had a 4" straightpipe and it souded great, but wasnt super loud far away (got half way down the freeway ramp and I couldnt hear it anymore.
I am interested in going this route, but wondered if they could be driven "quitely" so as to not piss my neighbors off, and dont really want to have a miserable time cruizing at 70 on the fwy. Any input? |

Any input? I'm not sure if you could drive it quietly enough to not piss off your neighbors, I guess it depends on how picky they are. They aren't too bad on the highway, there is definitely some exhaust noise but not something you can't cover with the radio. |
In my experience at about 1900-2200rpm there will be a drone that will drive you crazy. Your neighbors wont be happy, but that can be dealt with. :c:

there is a drone with any non muffled vehicle some worse than others hope you have a loud radio

Seems to depend on the truck. Also seems to be worse with a long box truck. I know its not a third gen but I had my 98 shortbox straightpiped for awhile. No drone at all. My buddys 97 longbox had so much drone his kids couldnt go on a long trip. He ended ripping out the interior and installing dynamat.

Interesting... You would think it would be worse with a short box. I'm running just a cat and it's fine. I would like to pull the cat too but I'm worried about it getting too "droany"

My 05 with a shortbox was straightpiped and had a loud drone. dads 05 with longbox has a little but not as bad as my shortbox. onl;y difference in the two was my pipe did not stick out at all and dads sticks out about 3"ish. His long box definatly outside the cab was louder though.

I have an 07 straight piped and it pretty loud and yes it does have a drone but sounds darn good.
