5 Inch Exhaust
 

How loud is it?

Straight or muffled?

I have a 4" downpipe that immediately turns into 5" at the trans. It's an Expandit system with their muffler. The droan is awful at around 2300 RPMs. I haven't decided if I want to do a Donaldson or drop down to 4".

What is a donaldson? Just wondering because i have that same 5" expandit without a muffler and it has a bad drone at 2200-2300. Its getting annoying with all the trips down interstate going 80.

It's a muffler. Many, many big trucks run them as factory equipment. They typically flow just as good, and better in some cases, then most aftermarket mufflers. You and I would probably want the M90535 from what I can tell.

Not my truck but a good sound clip-

they do have alittle diffrent sound to them

straight

mine is 5 from turbo back and its not bad at all better than the stacks and cleaner

have 5 inch magnaflow turbo back and going down hiway or in town its not loud at all. if i get on it then it has a nice little roar. if anything i would want it louder. no drone at all :)

mbrp 5'' straight:tu:

I have the expandit 4 inch down to five inch straight wouldn't change a thing. I don't think it's too bad in the cab Maybe it's my flat bed but I don't mind it at all I love the noise when I open my passenger side window. How do I make it louder.

Tip size can affect the sound.

what you all mean when you say DROAN and LUKE tell us how the tip makes a diff. whats the diff. sizes do I ask bec. i am going to an exspandit 5 inch back no muff. and i want it loud and deep sounding but i wanna put a 6inch tip on it

In my opinion the larger the tip the deeper the sound. a 5" straight piped with a 6" tip will sound very nice. Only way to get louder would be stacks.

thats cool then I wish i had the money for the bullydog 6ich system turbo back

To many fitment issues with the 6"

well thats good to knowno one ever mintioned that lol thanks
