It's time to start thinking about replacing the stock 4-cyl exhaust that I'm still forcing the 2.7 to exhale through.
Since I've not had knobbies for a while now, I've rather learned to enjoy the quiet ride. Nice to have reasonable conversations and hear tunes without my ears bleeding. I could go for a bit of an increase, but I'm willing to sacrifice a couple HPs for a handful of fewer dBs.
As parameters...
In the past, I ran a Cherry Bomb in an X-11 with a 2.8 V6, so probably a similar result would be had from the 2.7 with similar power band. That would be too loud for me now.
I ran Flowmasters in my Corvette and thought they were fine, if a little boomy at some RPMs.
I do NOT want to sound like those anemic ricer tuners. Period. The truck is a total sleeper right now and I'd like to keep it that way.
So, recommendations?
(I'd REALLY like to go with an STS-style remote turbo in lieu of a muffler, but can't for the life of me figure out where I'd put the intake. There just isn't much room back there in the short-wheelbase trucks, and it would have to have a reasonably high inlet. So, forget that for now.)
