also, there may be another reason why you cannot hear the exhaust so well. i have a close friend who just purchased a flowmaster system for his ford.... he complained and complained about that thing for weeks. he said that he could barely hear it!.. so finally one day i had the chance to ride behind him going to a concert and that thing was F***ing loud! let me tell you.
there is quite a big difference in a truck that has DOR (duel out rear) exhausts compared to one with Duel out side (DOS)... you should check it out! get someone to confirm that the thing is quite. a second opinion comes in handy, because the sound is so baffled returning to the cab of the truck from a DOR compared to a DOS

I never thought about that, I'll get one of my roomates to check it out when they get home. Thanks for the advice! Anybody have comments/input on my previous post about the Dynomax true dual system? How hard are they to install yourself? Thanks again!

My dad's 78' Sierra 454 fully-modded race truck has dual Dynomax mufflers and it sounds great. But its a big block, so why wouldnt it.
My friend has a 1995 Tahoe Z71, 350 all stock with a Dynomax with duals. It sounds good, low, deep and mellow. About like my Magnaflow.
If I were going for a more mellow sound, MAGNAFLOW all the way, but Im not satisfied, i want mine louder. Therefore, a FM 44 will be on my truck soon.

I think that your current flowmaster is louder than a Dynomax would be. JMO.

Depending on income tax return, any good ideas/ upgrades for my truck? Also, how can I make my truck louder? The local muffler shop said changing the muffler would not change the sound, is that so? Thank You

Depending on how much you get back, it would be really cool to drop an RB26DETT in there. And if you wanted it really loud a custom 4" downpipes back exhaust would be the way to go. All in all I can't see this setting you back any more than about $20,000 tops...



ROFL, just kidding ya man. I'd go with a good Flowmaster muffler, K&N air filter, and a Jet chip just for starters.
