that sucks! thats one of the first things i did to my truck, fix the exhaust. went to autozone and bought a 20 dollar cherrybomb, but it wasn't loud enough for me. i measured it and it was 28", so i went to the muffler shop and got an 18" about a week ago and it made a huge difference. now it has that mean loping sound at an idle and when you take off everybody looks.

If you take a straight through style glasspack the ones with the louvers inside, and put them on backwards the are like straight pipes.
