10' 2500hd 6.0, Loudest Exhaust?

[2500HDRob]

Hey guys,

 

Quick question, I am looking at putting some exhaust on my 10' 2500HD 6.0, however I am at a loss of where to start looking, can't find much on youtube either. I -thought- about going true duals w/ hpipe but some have said the 6.0's sound like utter crap with straight pipes.

 

So any suggestions I am open to, I want that loud V8 sound, but none of that raspy nonsense. I would like a good rumble at idle as well, if at all possible.

 

Thanks for the help.

6.0L sounds like crap with true duals??who said this a ford guy?I personally think the 6.0s souund great with jusst 40 series let alone straights.Straights pipes are on the raspy side when i say straights i mean 2 manis 2 pipes straight back no cat or mufflers.but if you were to just do a muffler delete it would sound pretty bad ass.

Run a H-pipe and 2 flowmaster 10 series race mufflers with 18'' tips. Loud!! I had just one Flowmaster 10 series on my Silverado and it was loud but sounded good at the same time. Dual mufflers would sound even better imo.

Why would you put a 5" exhaust on a gasser? Just seems stupid, probably even hurt performance. 5" is not even recommended for most diesel under 500HP.

Agreed 5" exhaust would really injure the performance like crazy. As long as you leave on cats, it won't be too awful loud anyway.

Don't know how loud you want it to be but my 6.0 VMax I went with GMPP performance exhaust and it has a nice growl to it. Don't know if I would consider it loud but it sounds strong.

Haha not a ford guy, oddly enough it was from another gm forum. I thought about straights, but keeping the cats, deleting the muffler and adding and H-pipe. Do you think I could get a strong V8 sound, without sounding TOO raspy?

 

 

On another note, my 10' has an overly restrictive muffler, I mean it's a honker, I know the exhaust comes two pipes from the motor and into the single which leads through the cat then to the muffler, would keeping the stock setup, minus the muffler make a loud exhaust sound?

 

Appreciate all the responses guys.

haha who gives a shit. its 5" exhaust and it gangz. be loud and proud haha

[gregrocks89]

haha but i guess in that states you cant be gangz on your vehicles exhaust not like here in canada. haha im only buggn you guys im on the beer can again. Everything i own is loud. I dont really care about huge hp and performance. i just care if looks sweet and sounds sweet thats all

If you truly want loud, go with long tube headers, high-flo cats, true duals into flowmaster 10 series or super 44's. That will give you a nice rumble without sounding crappy like straights. (personaly i think straights just sound like you have a bad exhaust leak somewhere. haha)

I've only got a 5.3L but there is no muffler on my truck, but I did keep the resonators, cats (of course), and the y-pipe and exited out before pass rear wheel, clip in my signature.

Watched your clip and yes, it does sound very good if you leave the cats and resonators. I was refering to dumping everything and bypassing the O2 sensors(with the cat delete). I like your little hustle to get around the truck though
