I was messing with my exhaust last week, took the truck for a test drive and the exhaust fell off. But I have to say that an open downpipe sounds pretty sweet :sly

Ha ha LOL I fought the ATS on mine last week by myself without any luck so I drove it to my brothers house without it in.

It does sound cool. The sound reminds me of Mad Max The Road Warrior when he's driving the black car and flips on the blower!.... Sweet :D

Were you installing a new ATS exhaust system ?? What problems did you run into ???

mine sounded hoggy LOL, was driving calmly and heard a snap as the previous owners bad welding snapped and downpipe disconnected. part of the hoggyness was probably the exhaust partially going in and echoing though LOL

When I had Barney's truck at the house to finish up, TDT had an open downpipe and man did that thing whistle!!!
Hooked up the 4" exhaust to it but it sure didn't quiet that whistle.:sly

So does that solve your stacks/mufflers issue now? :sly

haha, actually I was playing with different muffler combinations and tried to test drive the truck with no hangers on the exhaust...turned out to not be the best idea! I am getting it to where I like it though. Found out a couple neat tricks.

Sometimes I think that on a turbo IDI, the more pipe you have behind the turbo, the loud it is :dunno
