Exhaust upgrade, really worth it ?

I'm still running stock exhaust/muffler on my 2013 DCSB. I am very familiar with the performance gains an dual upgraded exhaust can provide, but that usually is only realized with true duals and high-flow CAT and high flow performance muffler. My inner redneck usually gravitates toward anything made by Flowmaster. :> SO, I am considering upgrading my muffler to something a little louder than stock. Is there any real performance gains from upgrading only the muffler? To be honest, my primary reason for upgrading is to re-route the exhaust and/or cut it early so it does not hang up on crap when I am off-roading. All upgrades and all mods are off-road solely to improve clearance and off-road capabilities.

 

I put a Borla on my long bed and as far as a little extra sound, I got zero anything else.

 

I kinda like the quiet stealth feature the stock exhaust provides. If I upgrade or cut hack anything, it would be to improve clearance and offroad performance only .

 

It'll sound faster, but that's about it. And you'll be tossing the quality OEM parts.

 

You're not getting any performance out of duals on our V6. Nothing you can feel.

 

Thanks all, exhaust upgrade low on the list, I will put those funds towards other upgrades

 

Rollin' coal !

 

I installed a Flowmaster 40 Series last night and finished the tailpipe today. It's a little louder and a little deeper tone. I didn't feel any difference in power.

I have a tip for it but it's paint is drying.

 

All worth it....20 smiles to the gallon for sure! Keep on Trucking I say....

 

The more I drive it the more I like it.

It doesn't sound like a ricer at all - I've read comments that said it would. It doesn't sound like my 468 BBC with 2 Holley 850's either so does that mean it does sound like a ricer? Lol

 

I really like the way the TRD catback sounds. Deeper tone and a little louder than stock, but no drone. Even if youre not looking for gains in performance, id still consider it as its the best sounding exhaust for the 4.0 imo

 

I liked the sound of my flowmaster super 50, nice smooth sound for a v6 and not much drone either. I have an AFE Rebel now which is a little deeper, more aggressive and a good bit louder, but drones a lot on the freeway. I still like it, and it exits in front of the rear tire too which is cool.
