Yes. I have dual 2" Pipes from the Flowmaster out the back ("Megs" Chrome
Tips as well). The "Pissed Off Bee" sound will always be there (to a point)
since we only have 6 cylinders. (Smaller engines create higher pitched
exhaust tones. This can be changed with larger pipes but at a degradation
in low-end performance.)

Hey all,
        My next mod will be the exhaust. I'd like to have Dual Pipes leading out
the rear of the truck (instead of the stock which is off too the right side
rear). If I go dual, I know that I should probably have only a 2" diameter
for each pipe.

        Has anyone modified their 6er exhaust? I'd like your feedback. Performance
is my primary concern, but SOUND is a close second ;-). I like the rumble of
the big V8s but I can't stand that "pissed off bee" rice burner sound. (Ed,
I listened to the flowmaster on SmokinDak's message board - didn't like it.
It had that "rice" sound, although my PC speakers aren't the best. Sounds
like 3-chamber Flowmaster or Dynomax Super Turbo for me.)

Your experienced comments are welcome, especially from fellow 6ers who've
done it. (...is who've a word??? hmm).

Later all
