5 inch straight pipe

[2005pwerstroke]

hey guys im running a 3.5 inch mbrp downpipe to a 5 inch straight pipe that i believe to be home made. i was wondering how to make the truck sound deeper. it sounds good at idle but at 3000rpm it sounds like a ricer. maybe a bigger downpipe or a tip?

o and there is a short section of 4 inch before it switches to 5 after the downpipe

Just buy a full exhaust

4" DP will help a lil and 5" as far forward as you can get it to the DP. My 5" duals are about the deepest I've heard a 6.0 sound in person. A bigger sized tip seams to help I think also.

awesome what brand downpipe do you recommend and as far as tips any preferences i know alot of people dislike the rolled tips

I run a diamond eye 4" stainless on my truck and my dads no issues with them, and mbrp dual wall 6" tips

You are going to be disappointed. You will shell out a lot of money for not much of a difference.

I have 4" from the turbo to the dump and its as loud and almost as deep as the 5" trucks I have heard. You already have 5" at the ends. Thats what makes the tone.


A large tip might give it more echo/tone.

Get a 4" downpipe, and a larger tip (5-8") on the end of your 5", it will sound GREAT

agreed^ I have a 4" dp and 5" straight exhaust with 7" tip and it is very deep compared to 4"..

 

[Joshbaker]

Ehh big tips just look stupid to me sorry.

 

[ghohouston]

Honestly I think any bigger than an 8" looks trash cannish. I see cummins all the time with stock exhaust straight piped, with like a 10" tip, that looks stupid. Its not all about looks either, tips change the sound quite a bit

Anything bigger than 7" seems to be a waste... Kind of sound the same after that IMO

ok guys thanks for the help i guess im gonna try to find a used 7 inch tip and downpipe before i shell out the money for new parts

I noticed a pretty good difference in the sound when I went for the stock down pipe to a 4 inch with my 5 inch exhaust. It made it quieter and gave it a deeper tone.

This is my truck stock with 4" DP to 5" straight - Diamond eye. No tip.

Go with a non vgt if you want a deep tone.

I have a 5in dp and 5in exhaust with an 8in tip. It sounds bad azz at idle, and all the way through the throttle positions.

You do not have a 5" down pipe
