Ok, I am thinking about changing out the muffler on my truck and going to a single in and a dual out then dumping them somewhere, just don't know where.
The reason for the dual out is that if i ever want to put dual pipes I can fairly easy.So any suggestions on a muffler?

Thanks,
Zach

Cherry Bomb Pro/Cherry Bomb Vortex depending on what kind of sound you are going for.

Cherry Bomb Vortex flows great, and has a mild tone, the Cherry Bomb Pro has good flow too, but a deeper throatier tone w/o all the rasp.

Flow master 40's is what I have on my truck, it sounds great, not to loud, but has a nice rumble.

I would recommend that whatever muffler you go with, you extend the pipes over your axle before you dump. It will help with 'drone' in the cab.

ok thanks, I'm gonna check out utube after lunch and see what would sound nice. I'm pretty sure it is a 3" in, right? But, what size do y'all recommend out?

Thanks

I decided on the cherry bomb pro, with 3" in and dual 2.5" out. So, which one of these would give a cleaner and deeper/throatier/etc. type of sound?

Shorter is louder.
And that pic is really small.
Try this : http://www.summitracing.com/compare.aspx

I personally went with the magnaflow xl3 chambered muffler.
I think its perfect, really nice rumble, not obnoxiously loud, and its stainless lol.

You will love the sound of that Cherry Bomb Pro!! I went with a 3in SISO, very deep, very throaty, and no rasp. Post a vid when finished!!!
