How to make 7.3 exhaust loud as possible

[d7es3l]

I've heard big stickers make your truck very noisy

Make sure they are a giant 'C'. That makes it very noisy!

No not it at all. In case you have noticed engine noise and exhaust noise sound completely different. Id like to be able to hear my exhaust in the cab not have to be outside the truck to hear it. I was looking for opinions but i guess i just got smart ass remarks.

Damn right, its a 7.3

You wont ever hear the exhaust over the engine unless you have a hood stack

If you want exhaust noise in the cab, run a short stack. Just don't plan on opening the rear sliding window.

If you just want loud and annoying exhaust: 3.5" downpipe, 4" straight pipe, 4"-6" tip dumping out the side in front of the rear tire. My truck could be heard literally a mile away with that setup. You will get tired of cleaning the back tire. You will get tired of the noise in the cab.

Maybe il just keep it how it is and put a 5 inch kit on. I guess you can only make these trucks so loud. And i wont put a stack in because i use my bed to much.

No matter how loud the exhaust, the injector solenoid noise is way noisier and that is what you'll hear in the cab. If you want good exhaust sound roll the passenger side window when you are running along buildings or going under an overpass.

So let me get this straight... You want to have it quiet in the cab so as not to disturb you and your boyfriends date night...... But you want it loud as f@@k outside to annoy everyone else.... Hmmm

Notice how the dude didn't refute your comment about taking his boyfriend out lulz

Wouldn't worn out muffler bearings be louder?

I vote duramax swap! Mine is quiet in the cab but when you hammer it it is one of if not the loudest truck I have ever heard. Having a s366 and 4" exhaust from the turbo back makes it a LOT louder btw

 

[Magnum PD]

You sure it's not your ego making the noise?

That helps make it a little louder. LOL Actually I would say my buddy's straight piped custom tuned 6.0 is about as loud but he still has the stock vgt turbo and downpipe I can't imagine how loud as 6.0 with a fixed vain turbo and 4" downpipe is!!!!

I wanted loud so this is what i did lmao.

Sent from the drivers seat.

Lmm dmax has to be one of the loudest trucks I've heard with a 4" exhaust. Sounds like a pissed off cougar screaming. My buddies will deafen you at wot if your beside it.

I beg to differ. Drive a reg cab with 2, 5" stacks straight piped. All I hear is exhaust.
OP. It gets old. Love it on race day. But at 530 am on the way to work I want to beat my head on the dash. Conversations with the wife(boyfriend in your case a pointed out) not possible. Stereo has to be above half volume or it just sounds like muffled noise.
Stacks are the loudest you can get. If you won't do stacks you obviously don't want it as loud as it can be

I never realized how loud my truck really was until I did that. Holy fawk is it loud when you floor it under an over pass lol

Another way to get it a little louder is headers. Pricey but they sound real good.

 

[Lamont_24]

You can't beat a 6.0 or a 6.7 going through and underpass though

I was going to say stick your ear in the pipe.!

Put a.stack on it. Those are loud.

Nope. Wants the bed still.

I could still hear the injectors with my 6" stacks, but it depended on the rpm's. At certain speeds all you can here is drone.

That's true. There are a few sweet spots where it's actual quiet
