Yes this is a very real question. I need to make my truck MUCH quiter in order to plow this winter. I wont get half of my accounts given to me if I don't do something. I need to cut the noise level by 50% at least. As of right now its pretty much dumped out of the muffler. I don't think If I extended the pipe and had it exit in the factory location it would quite it down enough. I don't want to switch back the the factory system. I'm looking for ideas to help shut it up but something easy to put on and off.

My ideas are put the flow 40 on there as well (I have it from my old ****master system) and extend the pipe other than that I don't have anything.

Put a large magnaflow on there. That is what I use bc I am pretty sure I was going deaf from running with an open cutout all the time. The magnaflow makes it much quieter but still keeps a nice deep rumble.

Put the factory exhaust back on then weld on a cutout after the cats and you would have the best of both worlds.

Don't have any factory stuff anymore and it was trashed when I pulled it off.

Hit a few trees with it. Reason why I dont off road anymore.

Let me add im trying to do this on the cheap side I'm getting a plow installed on tuesday so thats 4k out the door. So money to super tight right now!

you could also get a cutout, but instead of exiting at that point, it gets channeled to the stock muffler. yeah its a small amount of extra weight, but you could have really quiet exhaust when you wanted it, your normal loud exhaust when you dont

With the way I'm set up now a stock exhaust would be a pain in the ass to do. Lots of reducers more hangers.

But I am keeping an eye out of one.
