I want a loud exhaust

[jammons5126]

I need to know if there is a exhaust that is loud and i mean loud it will make ppl know that i am coming down the street I need it loud without having to change the motor or anything anybody have any suggestions

[Joe_Roofer]

Just replace your muffler with a glasspack, might not sound great but it will be loud.
And street legal, I think.
What motor do you have?

[jammons5126]

I have a 3.0 L i am also putting a turbo in it

Yea, sure ok :rolleyes: Ill believe it when I see, Ive yet to see any one actually follow through with forced induction. Make it sound GOOD, not LOUD. If you want loud straight pipe it, it will sound like shit and you will look like a retard. Run a 2 1/2" flowmaster and it will sound good and be fairly loud.

[Ranger5.0]

you want it loud, straight pipe it...you seam to want to do a LOT of krap to this truck of yours.

[jammons5126]

hey its my baby i want to take care of it. I have it in te shop right now. I am getting a new trans and steel almost everything in the engine. I dont want to straight pipe it because it will sound like crap. I want a nice crisp sound decent loud.

[Ranger5.0]

you said you want it loud, loud and "good" doesnt work on a small displacment engine lol. Screwing with things you dont 100% understand isnt the best way to take care of your baby.

[Joe_Roofer]

You would be better off like Hahnsb2 said, bigger pipes and flowmaster or similar muffler. straight pipes, glasspacks etc. will be loud but sound like you need exhaust work.

You have a nice truck there. IMO I wouldn't trash it it w/ an obnoxious exhaust.
There are plenty of kits out there, although I see you have duals.
:temper:
I stared my 4.0 Ranger to move it with the exhaust removed, while installing duals. It is not that loud with no exhaust.

Go with a nice open muffler Flo-mo or glasspack, whatever. It is not a stock car & will never sound like one.

If you are serious about a turbo you are going to need a tuned exhaust, not the most obnoxious thing you can come up with.

I don't think bigtruckin90 is on anymore but he had a 4.0 with duals and no mufflers and it sounded pretty good. I don't know if a 3.0 would though.

I have almost the same setup. The Y-pipe goes into a 2 1/2" pipe, then that splits into two 2 1/4" pipes at about the back of the door. Complete straight pipe. I experimented for a long time, and this is the only setup I found besides stock that didn't sound like ass.

I kind of doubt that a 3.0 would be the same though.

well i had a 88 2.9 2wd ihad no cats glass pack broke completely out then run it out into a 3 inch pipe caddy cornered out tha back an it sounded really good had a nice clean rumble echo i liked that exhaust i experimented forever an finally got it right! i just cut one cat off an gutted the other one on my 88 b2 2.9 im goin to have a cherry bomb welded up hopefully this week well see how it sounds!! good luck in your quest for a mean exhaust!!

gutting cats? hmm.......HMMMMM...

Just don't forget to cut out the scent glands first, even before gutting. Otherwise they taste "gamey".

[RobbieD]

Oh, I like mine done in the wok. I prefer "traditional".

[skippy]

cat,the other white meat.

[RobbieD]

I thought that was possum.

[skippy]

thems good eating too,little garlic,little butter.give me gas though.

[Ranger5.0]

HAHAHA the wok, took me a second to put two and two togeather...wok, traditional, great stuff.

[RobbieD]

thems good eating too,little garlic,little butter.give me gas though.

So that's the solution- instead of cat, eat more possum, for a louder exhaust.

What a relief! I was kinda getting concerned that we were really starting to trash this thread. But yet again, TRS comes through with real solutions for serious Ranger owners.

[fastford04]

i thought possum WAS the other white meat!! LoL squirrle's good also!!

[Ranger5.0]

Awe, yes .Let it be known that no cats or other domesticated animals were gutted during the making of this thread. possem or other small rodents are fair game tho. This thread didnt get trashed, its just a joke, and usualy, when anyone mentions tampering with emissions stuff it gets locked, we juss saved it from death, and made it more exciting

[fastford04]

aye i see its just FYI fer me not to mention nuthing illegal? is this goin to get me banned??

[RobbieD]

Nah; banning is saved for serious crimes.

The punishment for a first-time mention of something illegal is . . . gutting.

[Anger]

Don't eat possum that smells like fish. :threadjacked: Bad possum can make you real sick.
Cut cats are good w/ EVOO & cheap domestic beer :beer: High Life!

Eat loud & proud :icon_hornsup: .

[ngzcaz]

The police appreciate letting them know when you are coming so they can watch you if you screw up....

[mikhail]

i chopped off the tailpipe on my b2, then ran a 40 for a while. I gutted one of the cats, didnt really make a difference in sound though, so i took off the muffler. that was loud, sounded like a v8 for some reason, it was mainly since it was resonating though, i put a down pipe on it now and its alot quieter but sounds better than the 40 actually.

[Twizzler09]

I have a '96 4.0 and I changed mine to duals about 3 months ago. Not true duals though.

the Y pipe comes down and goes into a single magnaflow high-flow cat (there were two when I started), the pipe from there on back is 2 1/2 inch, which goes into a Magnaflow single-inlet dual outlet muffler, the pipes off the back of the muffler are 3 inch I think and it ends in dual 3 1/2 inch tips. The tips dump a few inches in front of the right rear tire, which makes the pipes from the muffler to the tips very short.

Overall it sounds alright, gives off a V8-ish sound at idle and it sounds quite growly under 2,500RPM... anything over that and it starts to sound a little rice-ish. The only annoying part is when I change gears fron first to second, sometimes from second the third, it has a tendency to generate a "fairy poof". Thats my only complaint really, can't ask for much better from a smaller motor.
