Are you saying you could not hear the muffler while you are driving?So you drilled holes to make it louder ?Also it looks to just be oem type muffler if you wanted a cheap loud muffler you could have just went to a pep boy,kragen etc and got one for around $100

I actaully did have 4 in the back but because of the air flow and the baffle design in the muffler it made little to no change at all. If you put the holes in the back its almost a cheap fart can cus of how the air flows out. Yea I know it looks dumb but because its lowered or even if ita not, you can't see the muffler at all cus I had it welded way up in the chasis. But no worries I have a cat-back on the way. But it will take a while cus its a Tanabe and they are back ordered.

For the sake of my neighbors....they would call the cops on me for my truck as soon as I took it out cus it was too loud. Granit it was a diesel with a stright pipe but w/e. And I heard bad things about MPG and back pressure with a stright pipe
