so I am getting ready to order my downpipe from dale and i am going to go with the 3.5 inch. my question is if I run a straight pipe from the downpipe and let it underneath the truck will it sound much different then if i were to exit it out the side? has anyone had any experinces with this and i looked on youtube and cannot find any sound clips of one. i dont want to run the full exhaust and would like to get some nasty spooling out of it but I was wondering if i just 45'd the exhaust to the ground would it be much different then running it out the side any help and sound clips would be awesome! btw im thinking of going either 3.5 inch or 4 inch exhaust any opinons? btw i dont really want a big tip that is flashy or anything like that

I just cut my exhaust off right in front of the muffler so it is exiting about 4ft in front of my rear axle and i didn't even put a turndown on it.
In my opinion it sounds just as good if not better than the side exit exhausts. There is a lot of noise in the cab though because the sound is not carried as much towards the rear. I like to hear the sound of my own truck though.
before I finished my exhaust it was cut just after the cab and there was alot of cab noise!!!! It didn't sound bad but I wanted to dump it before the rear wheels!!!
Later,
DEVLYN

I Have A 07' 6.0 F-250 And I Have The Exhaust Dump Right After The Cab. There Is No Mufflet Or Cat. It Sounds Awsome. You Can Really Hear The Turbo. I Love It
I had to leave just a down pipe on for a couple weeks once. It sounded cool for about 3 days. I may be getting old, but it was annoying after that.

I used to have a rear exiting exhaust then decided to chop it off after the cab, when i found out it was what killed my second turbo.
I put a flapper cap on the end to angle the exhaust down a bit when idleing, other than coating everything under the truck black, i love the sound.
Sound clips just dont do the sound justice, its quite something, I've had a few guys in big rigs look down to see what that load rig was below them at intersections.
Btw the main reason i left it chopped off if I cant decide if i want stacks or not, lol.

I am looking to in getting a truck within the next year and half or so depending but for now this is my everything truck so I would like to have some fun with it. How did the exhaust kill your turbo btw? Will you get the same sound if you angle it down to the ground as you would angling it out to the side?

Yes, that was RYANPSD, haven't seen him a while. He left about the time we lost all the good ol boys with lots of knowledge.

Exactly, only mine was only cool for about 3 hours And I'm only 27, so I ain't to old yet....If you get it out on the highway and hit high gear so it lugs a little the cab drown is absolutely horrible. Not to mention in MO anyway anything closer than I think like 18" behind the passenger compartment is Illegal, because of CO emmisions. Also I have 4" all the way out the back now and spool is NO different than when the pipe was off. You would have to be flowing some insane fuel for a 4" pipe to be a restriction unless it was very long and had sharp bends in it. If want fast spool you need more fuel, not less exhaust.

on OBS trucks because the way the turbo is secured the heavier the exhaust is the more strain it puts on the turbo, causing it to pull down on the exhaust housing which then puts strain on the center section, which will crack on the bottom and tend to bend the shaft.
Talked to the guy who build turbos for WOP and he said he's seen it alot.
