Yes...they are - oddfire design plus smaller displacement. I've run my '97
V6 without the cat and just a Flowmaster 70-Series and it still sounded like
a top fuel dragster at WOT.
I'm now running a 30" MagnaFlow TurboXL muffler without the cat and it's
quiet until about 3000rpm (resonance) and then gets quiet again...unless I'm
at WOT (but it's still quieter than a Flowmaster.

Subject: DML: Loudness: 6 vs 8
Are the Magnum V-6 engines for some reason louder than the V-8? I have a
factory exhaust on my truck up to the cat, after that I just have Y-ed off
duals with 2-1/4" pipes (might be 2-1/2"..I never did measure..not much
smaller than my 3" tips). It is by no means quiet but it's not crazy.
Never been bothered by cops, or should I say I never bothered the cops
enough to bother me. It had a Flowmaster when I bought it, pretty sure a 2
chamber, and it wasn't much louder than a stock 5.9 R/T that is a couple
doors down from me. Is there something about the lack of 2 exhaust pulses
that makes things louder?
