Hey all,
I guess it is time I hung up the straight pipes for a little quieter ride…
Dont want to disturb the people who bought the house in the new development by the 6% grade anymore and risk a fine… Or explain that noise to Colorado DOT…
And unlike when I am sitting in front of my wife and I nod my head in response when I really didn’t hear here I do need to be able to hear her on the phone occasionally.
I also really need to be able to answer every time TQL calls to see if I am 50 miles further than I was when alibaba called to check in on me…
Anyhow, I just need a decent under cab muffler to quiet things down a bit and reduce the drone.
I am a bit worried I will see an increase in EGT with a muffler, but by how much. I spent some time in some hills this last week and I love this truck with straight pipes I never worry about spiking the EGT (providing I do things right)
any suggestions and what difference did it make in noise level?
What muffler are y’all running? Old Caterpillar (Peterbilts and Belt Buckles)

Mine has Lincoln Chrome spools and a short muffler underneath, series 60, still way to loud. I use these, can hear cb and stereo, I hear sounds in music I never noticed before, makes for a nice day and lowers stress
My chase car commented on my jake noise going down Monteagle. Way too loud.

I went from a muffler to a straight pipe and I can say the muffler made a huge difference. I’m sorry I don’t know the brand. This is on a 96 FLD 120. The muffler definitely kept it quiet and muffled the jakes noticeably.

I was told this is the same as the one PP markets as their own for less.

What's this "muffler" you speak of???
staceydude, singlescrewshaker, Diesel Dave and 1 other person Thank this. -
MBRP 5" Quiet Tone Diesel Muffler
These are cheap and easy to install. A true 5" is important, some neck down to 4" internally and that's no good.Bean Jr., staceydude and God prefers Diesels Thank this. -
