Need some help with my exhaust dilema

[garagemethods]

first off this is on a 305 obs truck. i'm going to do straight pipes soon, and my delima is between a dump/turndown on the end of the pipe, or running tips out the back.

does anyone know how these two ideas will make straight pipes sound? and which would be louder?

run it back will sound better

If you run turn-downs on straight pipes and have them dump under the bed, you will HATE the drone and vibrations the first time you fire it up.

If you want straight pipes, run them out the back. It will be loud and it will pop and it will sound like ass...but it will be loud. If that's all your going for I guess.

If it was me, I would use turndowns past the cab. I like to hear the exhaust as much as possible. Especially since you have a V8.

Straight piped coming out under the cab would be horrible.

I say run it to the back

A friend in high school had the same exhaust setup and it sounded great, in my opinion.

it sounds like complete S*** dumped, i had true duals straight out the back in my 305 obs and i loooooved the way it sounded, i see the girl that bought it every once and a while and it sure makes me miss it hearing it drive by
