exaust tubing

darth brian · 02-09-2006, 02:52 PM

if i cut off the 3-4 feet of tubing that comes off my muffler to the rear of my truck making up my tail pipe would i be much louder? after running no muffler for a long time and finally getting pulled over i want my loudness back. anybody know how much louder it will get and if its even worth it?

It will be a good bit louder due to the exhaust note having much more of an echoing effect if you cut it off right there.

If you had a stock or at least quiet exhaust system it won't make much difference. The pipe doesn't quiet the exhaust enough to matter - the cat and muffler do 99% of the quieting chores. It will resonate inside the truck a bit more, and really increase the likelihood that you will get exhaust fumes into the truck (bad!) and of course all that hot exhaust blowing on the underneath bits (also bad.)

Dumb thing to do. If you want a louder exhaust, change the muffler but keep the pipe all the way out the side.

Please don't make it too loud - most of the rest of us don't share your love of noise for the sake of noise...

I had to cut mine off right after the muffler due to clearance issues with my chevy leaf springs, so now it dumps out right under the bed, and it gave it a pretty noticeable droning sound.

i did change the muffler. its a small tubeular magna flow. not sure of the model or anything. they guy at the muffler shop said it was the smallest one he had. ive had no muffler for a year so i forgot what it sounds like but it cant much louder than stock. i got pulled over for being too loud and got a fix it ticket so i had to get a new one on. what im thinking of doing is unbolting my entire exaust(to save in case of another ticket). taking the tubing from my brothers 4runner and cutting the cat off and welding on a cheap wal mart 20 dollar rice rocket muffler

if it sounds lame i'll cut it off and put a flow master on it.

For 2 years i ran with no pipe from the outlet of the muffler to out the side, didnt think it was THAT loud. I had to reattach the last tail pipe piece to go through emssions and really didnt notice that much of a diffrance.

(this was on my truck not the runner)

The guy that bought the Flamed truck (picked it up today) left me with a 4Runner with a 327 in it, with duals and Flowmasters. It's Loud! and the funny thing is it's not a nice tone at all. It sounds kinda tinny, but it's too loud. I was underimpressed. I didn't think you could mess up the sweet sound of a 327.

on sunday my tail pipe fell off after my flowmaster while at the paintball field. I went on a subway run and started it up and it was LOUD.

darth brian · 02-14-2006, 01:22 PM

interesting. adam what happened with the chevy leafs? im doing that mod soon so if needed i might as well cut the tail pipe off now. if its louder, cool. if not. o well i had to do it anyway right

Adam F · 02-14-2006, 09:50 PM

Dual shackle setup was in the way of the tailpipe, so it had to go. Tailpipe was a custom setup bent up by a local shop, not stock. I dont know if the stock setup would work or not.

darth brian · 02-14-2006, 10:52 PM

mine is custom too. planning on running dual shackles too. o well i'll end up chopping it off anyway. how is the dual shackle setup working? are you running stock toyota shackle to a stock chevy shackle? any pics?
