Exhaust
Well just looked under the truck and the rusty glasspack has a leak. Thinking of swapping it out now with something to make it louder. So what should I go with?
|
I would just throw a flowmaster on there and call it a day should be less than 100
|
Bingo.
|
14" Magnaflow gets my vote!
|
Is there anything I could get for like $40-$50?
|
Found this...

Has anyone heard of an incinerator? I just called university muffler in Norman and they quoted $75 parts and labor putting one of those in. Pretty good deal I thought...
|
Just go for it..how bad could it sound?
|
try it out
|
just fyi those are fairly quiet i've had one on a car before
|
I dont want that, i want it to be around where it is now if not a little louder. Should i just go with another glasspack then?
|
Oh and if i take it to an exhaust shop, which im probably gonna do, im going to have the cat cut off while they're at it. It'll be less restrictive and a little louder.
|
Just remember, quality over quantity.
|
I'd just go to an exhaust shop and see what they have. They might even have a nice used takeoff mffler you could pick up cheap.

mellatone is a more affordable flowmaster sounding muffler it's like a knockoff kind of
|
Well I got it figured out now. We have a mig welder, so me and my dad are going to do it instead. I'm getting a glass pack instead of a muffler. Also gonna cut the cat off and straight pipe it to the glass pack. Going to go pick it all up tomorrow and we're doing it Monday.

What I mean is a glass pack instead of a flow master

Why do you want to make it louder. Sound level does nothing for performance on a stock vehicle.
Remove the cat? so you can have CEL's? You have a 2001....It has a single 31/2 or 4" intake pipe to your cat and 2.5 out. It is NOT restricting the flow on your motor. These convertors do not have the plugging issues that plagued earlier rams. |
The sound is a personal preference. And a clogged cat or not, straight pipe is always going to be less restrictive. And the CEL wont bother me considering it already comes on because of the lower temp thermostat.

The CEL comment is just silly |
The cel isn't going to effect how it runs, its just a light on the instrument cluster... Which I don't mind looking at. It might not help the power but like I said, I want it a little louder because of personal preference which is exactly what cutting the cat will do.
|
i have a 93 camaro once my cat clogged on it i just cut it off took a bar and knocked everything out of it to where it was hollow than welded it back on. im guessing that would be the same as adding just a straight pipe if so it really didnt make much of a difference. but my buddy had a 01 ram in high school his cat got cut off over night and he had to drive with out one lol that was loud!
|
dont remove your cats its dumb trust me. and it makes your truck stink to high shit which in turn turns the ladies off. and isnt that why we all do this anyway, bitches. the cel is annoying to i hate when people point it out.
|
You are most likely going to see a significant power loss if you cut the cat off. On my '04 I thought a full 3" exhaust with no cats would be perfect...my 0-60 was up to almost 10 seconds...I thought the motor was trashed. Added a hi-flow cat and all was well and went back to normal. Your truck needs back pressure to properly produce power unless you are running some crazy 500hp motor.
|
Damn... That is a significant loss, I've always understood that cutting a cat was better. Guess not though huh?
|
You lose low end power and torque. The only motors that run better without cats or mufflers are turbos.

Ill have to look under my truck to tell you what my muffler is but mine is dumped out right before the rear axle and its loud so maybe you can get something like ive got and if you wanted you could run it out the side like infront of your rear tire id you wanted it see able
|
I'm just going to do a new glass pack. We're going to weld it on Monday

I guess I could've have explained this better, but I'm glad everyone else was able to convince you not to do this. Actually I did explain it...elsewhere. Happy reading. :birgits_tiredcoffee |
My cats are off and my0-60 is around 7 but I have a cherry bomb resonator before my at3030 I had to add it for my children's sake
|
|
It's because you are trying to do it with a mobile version of Youtube.
|
Oh ok, is there anyway you could fix it from the computer? I don't have access to a computer... I'd appreciate it
|
|
I thought it would be a lot louder than that! Might just be the cell phone! Congrats on a finished project!
|
Thanks Timmy!
Yeah I thought it would be to but that cat quiets it up alot! |
