M1008 Exhaust System

[stuinnh]

Hi all!
I need to replace my exhaust system. Meineke will do it for $350. But, he wants to end pipes in front of the rear tires pointed down. Any problems with doing it this way?

I have a friend that did his like that, and it's louder than mine is with the stock setup behind the rear wheels. He likes mine better!

Dynomax makes a kit for a gas truck, if my recollection is correct it'll bolt right up to a 6.2.

I've used the kit on my fleet of plow trucks, 350 gassers and they come out in the rear at the stock location. They looked good and worked great, fit together nicely, and I only paid $225.00 per kit, turbo mufflers included.

But, is it louder because the pipe ends point down? Would it be as loud if the ends pointed to the sides?

I want it louder I am asking would it be so loud if I pointed ends in different directions.

If you point the ends down, yes it is going to be louder then if you point the ends out to the sides or the back. That is only if they are in the same location.

Anytime you angle your ends down, it's going to be louder. You can really notice it, if you drive over a concrete bridge. When pointed down the sound bounces off of the pavement and back at you.

If you let the ends come out in front of the rear wheels, closer to the cab, then that will be louder as well, to you the driver that is.
