wanting to put a exhaust on my 06 f250. trying to deside on duals or dual stacks. i don't want it louud but i do want it to grab attention.

 

If you run straight pipe, it's real loud up top. Regular exit out behind the bed, loud for everyone else, not really for you. Stacks are actually a touch quieter, and less raspy, as they have a deeper tone, however, it's LOUD inside the cab. Real loud.

Sounds like the cool duals would be your best option based on what you're telling me

 

don't want to much noise in the cab with the kids. i will have to have a muffler and cat for inspection.i do see trucks here that have stacks. i am also wondering if it would be worth cutting holes in the bed

 

Are you sure you need the muffler and cat? With both of those on, it's going to sound stock no matter what. Those two together really quiet the truck down, so even with stacks it'd be quiet. Real quiet. I'd check into that... I pass inspection every year without either of them in place.

Regardless, I wouldn't run the stack setup if I had kids in the back seat at all. You basically can't carry a conversation until you're up to speed. Once at speed though it lugs down and gets real quiet, almost stock quiet. Stomp on the skinny pedal and forget about talking to any passengers.

I only cut one hole in my bed, and that's how most kits are too.

 

And also that cat is costing you about 3mpg..
