just want a little roar

[redneckrichie]

i hate quiet while im driving. i just want to hear something. i was looking into a flowmaster muffler and just putting on an exhaust tip. will that change the sound or would it be a pointless investment?

Swapping out mufflers will definitely give you the sound you're looking for. If you want more performance you would need to do at least a cat-back system, but preferably a full exhaust from headers to tailpipes. If sound is all you want though, I'd say search Youtube and pick out a muffler that sounds good to you and then you can swap it out for your stock muffler

And just a muffler itself will give it a sound I'm not trying to make it real loud just something loud when I stomp on it

yeah, just replacing the stock muffler with an aftermarket one will give you the sound you want...hell, anything would be louder than the 5 gallon bucket of steel under there now If you're just looking for sound I'd recommend a Flowmaster Super 44 or a Thrush welded (copy of flowmaster but cheaper) but it will help you decide if you look them up on youtube

I have a thrush welded on my truck it was cheap and sounds good. I just cut my old muffler out and welded that muffler in but you will need some more pipe because the thrush is shorter than the stock muffler.

What kind of piping? Flex pipe or straight pipe steel and will I be able to get it to stick out the back no problem or will I have to put it out the side like stock?

 

[am92]

If you want it to stick out the back you'll have to do more than just replace the muffler. The best option is probably to take it to a local shop and tell them you want a cat-back system with 2 tips out the back and (your choice here) muffler.

just get a peace of straight pipe to fill in the gap and you will be good to go remember measure twice cut once!

Well I am an apprentice at a shop so I have all the tools to do it I just hate the side look for it that's why I want it out the back

 

[am92]

In that case you should be able to fab it up yourself...you'll need to do some bends to go over the rear axle and then around the spare but going out the back shouldn't be too much of a problem
