Default Help me re-do my exhaust

Since I got a ticked on the blue truck for modified exhaust, Im gonna change it. (Ok really its cause it has a flowmaster, but that sounded good )

Truck has OBX long tubes, ORY, and at the time a Flowmaster something or other with a SI/DO muffler, that I cut the most of the tail pipes off and turned the stubbs down.

Ive heard the Hooker Aero Chamber before, and know a lot of guys that love them, so I think Im going to give one a try. What Im thinking is going 3" SI/SO and running the tail pipe how I had on the white truck (Turned down behind the rear tire at the fender) The case length on the Aero chamber is only 14" long, so I was thinking about running a Bullet in front of it as a resonator if its too loud. (Like I did with the Magnaflow on the white truck)

On the black truck, I think Im gonna fix my collector/Y pipe leak, and maybe add a 4x9x14 magnaflow as a resonator to quiet it down. I have the small magnaflow or Id use a bullet here also.

Thoughts? Opinions? Other suggestions? Both trucks have LT's and ORY. The CC has a 5x8x18 magnaflow exiting in the factory location.

I've done that and loved the results. Killed the drone quieted it down just enough but let it scream at WOT.

Probably shoulda mentioned I don't want it too loun. Had pacesetters ory and tiny magnaflow for a while on my white truck. It got old relatively quick. Added the bullet and it was way better. I want something a little more tame this go round

I went with a 22" magnaflow with turndowns just before the bumper. I posted vids here. https://www.performancetrucks.net/forums/showthread.php?t=465735[/URL]

I like it a lot. Drone is almost gone now. I do wish it had a bit more bark at WOT.

I want someone to buy a dynatech splitflow so I can find out what they sound like and how loud they are.. I think that's what I want if its not too loud just to have something different.
