Maybe you don't know what drone is and how unpleasant. My first two exhaust setups had drone at highway speed. It gets old real quick, like about 1 mile of driving.
Need more noise!

Just curious is all. Yeah, its your truck, but 99.9999% people dont want the exhaust loud. What the heck...remove the muffler and run the exhaust out the side under the cab. That'll do the trick.
Take the" MUFFLER" OFF. LOL however, a straight pipe isnt that much different. Prolly 20% louder at most. Stacks or turn downs seem to make it sound louder due to short length of exhaust. And being close to cab. Do a muffler delete and see what happens first. I like my cab being quiet , and outside being loud tho.
I had a straight 4" MBRP with no muffler and it droned so bad on the freeway I couldn't take it. It got even worse after I installed the 366. I finally bought a 4" muffler and it sounds so much deeper with way less drone. I can't wait for the twins so it'll be even quieter. I can't stand hearing the exhaust. I'd rather hear my turbo whistle

Amen!!
Do your buddies drive cummins powered dodges? Then tell you their trucks are more powerful cuz they are loud and smoke alot.
You wanted a loud diesel, but bought the quietest diesel available, and want to try and make it loud
Exhaust Noise typically translates into unused/unharnessed power, un burnt fuel, all in all, a less refined product, most of us only accept more exhaust noise as a side affect of, or a need to make greater power, but even then it's only truly loud when deep into the throttle, maybe you could try to make more power....:angel:

Explain how exhaust noise "translates into unused/unharnessed power" and "unburnt fuel" ??
Trust me to much drone is miserable my fathers Cummins drones like non other his is miserable when we tow our boat to Kentucky lake!
my intake is too damn loud which bugs me id rather hear my exhaust than a loud suck coming from my cab
Do it, louder the better. Loud will impress the other 19yr olds and drone will rattle your brains. Perfect.
x2 there are quite a few diesel whores where I'm from! I'm the same age as you noise and power is what I am in search of!
