Re: exhaust run

I don't know if it would be quieter if they were closer to the headers. I put them where they are to keep them tucked up so they wouldn't get torn off out in the desert. It is a little loud in parking garages, but it sounds good in the freeway. A crossover pipe would mellow it out some.

Re: exhaust run

The further back you put the mufflers, the quieter it will be. I have long tube Hooker Super comps going on the BB and will be dumping the exhaust right at the back of the cab with a set of flows. It will be pretty loud and very throaty.
