Who is running a 4" muffler with Turbo??
Here's the deal.
Just started driving my truck again, lost my company car so lots needs to be gone through and upgraded finally.
Going to do a forged 5.7l with Silv-SS 6.0l heads and whatever turbo will give me 600-650 crank HP(76??).
I have the KB Racing Front Mount kit bought years ago still new in shrink wrap, 3.5: down-pipe.
Who here is running a 4" muffler set up?
I plan on also doing a cutout, possibly electric. I would like the exhaust to flow as freely as possible but also keep the noise levels acceptable when at 50% throttle and around town.
Thinking of using D-Max Diesel exhaust parts as an option.
Let me know what you have done and what your thoughts are on performance with your set ups.
Thanks

At least I took it outta shrink wrap tho.
I wondered whatever happened to u, now I know. Good to see u back at it.
BTW, sound may be diff. w/. turbo, by what % IDK, but AKLow has a 4" on his blown truck, says it's too loud to carry conversation inside cab. But turbos lend a quieter sound it seems, at least what I've been in. I know some Dynatech LT's, Corsa Touring, & an extremely free flowin set of cats...
a tad loud ***** out w/. a Radix, Again, I know you're turbo, just throwin that out there as a comparo, along w/. AKLow's.

less is better w/ turbo, as far as performance. if its a dd than i can see wanting it to be fairly quiet. i run very little exhaust and its not too bad cruising around, but only drive it 1000 miles a yr. turbo does kinda act as a muffler. its amazing how much faster turbo spools now. i go 4" w/ cutout and d max muffler. this is all i run. all 3" piping exits under passenger door.
