Sounds cool for sure but reduces engine vacuum big time. Go with 1 1/2 " pipes if possible.

I ran straight pipes for a year. Lots of fun, but gave me a headache after a few hours on the road. Most of the noise went out the back, but still echoed in the cab pretty good. Now have Smitty's on it. Not as loud, but better on my ears. What? I can't hear you, please type bigger.


To be long remembered as he's cruising in
