    you should be able to get them for your pipes. all it is is a slip in muffler they make the for 5,6,8,9,10,12 inch pipes. just slide it down in rebolt and good to go. dot approved as to your idea yea a old muffler under the truck slide in a straigh piece of pipe to keep it straight and keep your tune.....

    My truck isn't super loud but does have a good rumble, and if I need to idle to be comfortable I'm going to, if you don't like it then tough ####! Man up and deal with or go find an office job...

    That is what I like about the new rig. Nice quiet exhaust. Last truck rumbled no matter what with its cat.

    So next time a truck is nosed in with his trailer blocking your view while you sit in the seat so he or she can get away from your loud exhaust then you should not really have a problem with it other then it being a personal issue.

    You should not have any issues with the no engine braking signs that are being put up a mile outside most city limits also. Say like on I94 in North Dakota as you come into Valley City from the East or West or say when entering Fargo ND on I29.

    ive had trucks nose in next to me i kinda prefer it less chance of them taking my nose off when they go to leave imo. as for visabilty i dont just throw her in gear and haul butt. i creep out there. i also have no problems with the jake brake signs 1. again i know where the off switch is i can downshift with out using a brake. 2. the odds of the local pd or full growns enforcing the jake brake laws are laughable at best. 3 how do they prove it? especially when theres more trucks that just u in the area
