What a wonderful question at a time when companies and O/Os are trashing their exhaust systems and installing big 6 and 8 inch pipes and no muffler at all. Altering your exhaust from original carries a $10,000 fine. That doesn't mean you can't go with an aftermarket that matches what you had. Altering your exhaust to reduce back pressure, increase power and subsequently noise is. I live along US Hwy 231 in Indiana and you can hear these illegal trucks and unmuffled engine brakes a mile into the woods.

The regs are there, abusive highway noise pollution is there; it's a matter of putting the two together. Locally we will probably start filing FMCSA complaints... start documenting the bad actors. The decibels (I have a handheld meter) off these trucks runs way above 100. We have just enough yahoos in this industry who think the louder the better. See what they think after paying a $10,000 fine and scrapping all that chrome!

It's bad when open pipe motorcycles pass me and I can't even hear my truck when I'm inside of it......

i like the sound of a loud jake brake going by me on the highway. but my muffler came apart on my truck it was LOUD after a couple weeks i couldn't stand it anymore, drove me insane. the noise would wear on you threw the day. finally i picked up a muffler at a napa for under 60 bucks put it on in a truck stop parking lot, first time i hit the key it was like a huge sigh of relief. best money iv spent on the truck to date.

cant stand driving a loud truck.

I put the Donaldsons on my Pete and they were quieter than the cheap mufflers I had on it and the truck ran better.

If you care to provide for him. Do so. He's been on here a couple times, I have called him even. No, I am not going to search out his latest comments.

I don't care to deal with an arrogant person like that. Rebel127 and Mr Haney as well as a few others have done just as much for the industry as well.

To my knowledge, Rebel127 and Mr Haney don't sell mufflers, but if they did I might suport them to,

You don't have to pay a premium price just for a name.

The Donaldson M100463 is the same design as the PP product. AND it costs you $105 LESS money.
