Switchable mufflers

[Dozerboy]

Anyone have any experience with these? Not sure I can justify the price, but it would go a long ways to may my truck more enjoyable for the family on long trips. I don't even know if I need something electronic even manually switching it would be fine.

I’ve been playing with building my own mufflers in my down time just to have fun and mess around. My driver/ tow truck is a L5p and they get dronny! I prefer my everyday truck quiet. I was running a twister and muffler combo on it. Replaced it with my fist muffler attempt with great results. Still drones but knocked the sound levels down 50%.

Is there any time where you want it loud? That seems like a lot to pay for a muffler unless you really want to be able to quickly switch from "quiet" to loud

I would think quiet would be the preferred all the time.

But if you want to be able to go back and forth, a valve should be easy to install and I imagine cheaper

I'm indifferent to it being loud except for when I am trying to talk on the phone or have family in the truck. It's more about performance for me vs cruising down the road with the family to me. I'm leaning more to adding twin turbo now. Of course that's a big rabbit hole to go down with its own set of issues.

Why not just buy the electronic cutouts in the piping?

I still want a rear exit. When I first did my exhaust I did an axle dump just to see what it was like. I had soot all over the bottom side of my truck and tailgate.

Can you use a valve to bypass or reroute the exhaust around the muffler and out the same pipe? Would just need a valve and a few fittings

That might be worth it looking into have to see what size muffler I could fit.
