pshhh why not just put a loud ass muffler on there? you put all the money into headers, high flow cat, and a full exhaust, but you wanna quiet it?

the sound it makes when you rev it up and then let off the gas. maybe its just because i have it turned down right after the muffler.. i need to get a soind clip

turned down exhaust really makes the truck have a "hummy" sound to it. you should probably add a tail pipe with how much flow you're getting, it'll even out that tone and make it sound alot cleaner. listen to this video, you can really tell when i rev it up to 5k and let it off... it always maintains a clean sound and vibrant tone.

lmao no way. headers were 610 bucks but hey, quick on subject question... does a flex pipe reduce flow/sound? will it cause backpressure?

so what would u do to make a 3.4 sound clean like your 3.0 sounds. i like it. although i would have gone with 2.5 all the way out if your going to switch to a 3.4 at a later date.
my exhaust is 2.5 currently. empty cat. and flowmaster muffler.

you cant make a 3.4 sound like a 3.0... SOHC vs DOHC. the DOHC will always have a higher pitch rather than a lower tone. and why 2.50? i'd only go 2.5 if i were supercharged on a 3.4

well my main reason for doing it when i did my exhaust was, #1. Because ORS's Crossover, that i bought when i built my swap, was 2.5 at the outlet so i didnt see any reason in restricting it after that. #2 orginally i was going to supercharge.
Mine sounds nice until u hit the higher rpms then it whines like a stuck pig. well it does at least with no load on it.
