tooooooooooo loud!
ok ok, im 19, i like loud exhausts, so yesterday i didnt think my flow's after 3 years were loud enough for my likings after hearing the guy next door's 56' bel air fire up. i wanted mine to be just as loud.................so i completely cut my mufflers off with a hacksaw. no big deal really, the exhaust is the same one my grandpa put on the thing 20 or so years ago i just had the flow's put on. so now it sounds like a wild banshee on crack.. and its kinda obnoxious and i like screams and doesnt sound wonderful....but it sure is loud... anyone know how i could quiet it down and get rid of the "screaming" i get while accelerating...im thinkin of puttin the flow's back on really soon if i can't decide on anything else. always something to do
 it keeps my happy.

Sound's like you have a big motor problem!!!! The guy next door prob built his motor to be healthy, sound's like you need to build it up for more power!!!!

bigjimzll is right, headers will make the truck sound twice as good. I bolted a pair on my mostly stock 350, and through the same exhaust system i used to have (12" glasspacks and 3" chrome tips), it sounded about 50% louder, alot deeper, and overall more just more of a performance sound.
