4.0 exhaust ???

[rangerdude91]

my truck right now has 2 cats and then just straight tubing to the back. can i cut the tubing say half way or a little futher and still pass? i want it to be loud but not to where the cops will stop me. what would be the thing to do. maybe put a flowmaster on after the cats or what?

what do you mean pass

shortening the tailpipe will have minimal impact on the overall decibels of the engine. moving the exit closer to the cab will make it sound louder from the drivers perspective.

pass inspection

I belive virgina had very very strict standards for passing a ful linspection. If i were you I would find a complete oem exhaust and equip the oem exhaust for the inspection

Hey, I am also in VA and I am currently running a glasspack and the stock convertors where i had it rigged up for the glasspack my welds broke and i never did put it back on so its exiting between the bed and the cab(ext cab) I think it backfires a little more but it seems louder to you because the noise is closer and doesnt exit the back. I plan on going with an aftermarket convertor and maybe a turbo muffler to get the sound im looking for. Before I ran straight convertors and I honestly dont think the glasspack made any difference in the sound. Its require for the exhaust to exit behind the gas tank but you just have to find the right inspection station

well it did pass in december. i know a guy who if i wanted to illegaly rig it up that out in wakefield a guy will pass anything. im just trying to decide wheather i should put like a flowmaster 40, 44, or cherrybomb or just leave my straight pipee. i think ill just leave it the way it is. thanks alot

Thats what id do but hope you dont get pulled over and find the right butthole cop to right ya a ticket for that. Keep a old rusty muffler and say it just fell off.
