Definitely louder
"My muffler cracked, had to remove it due to exhaust leak. This replacement pipe made it significantly louder, great sound and great quality. Flared ends fit perfectly. Flo pro clamps were great as well."

Designed to replace most aftermarket mufflers, this pipe features expanded joints on each end to allow for easy fitment that will slide over the opposing exhaust ends, just as the muffler did.

About Mel's Manufacturing Exhaust
Mel's Manufacturing has been building some of the best sounding, longest lasting, highest flowing, exhaust systems since 1981. They are truly innovators in constantly finding ways to improve upon the overall construction of their exhaust systems and components to ensure they can stand the test of time, no matter the environment they are in. For example, Mel's utilizes lap joint style clamps at most junctions, as opposed to u-bolt style hanger clamps that require crushing the joint to adjoin the two pieces. This allow you to disassemble the exhaust without the use of a Sawzall if the need ever arose. Further, their exhaust hangers feature a built in radius that follow the contour of the exhaust, allowing them to secure the hanger to the exhaust with a 6-7" weld, as opposed to a roughly 1" weld that would be required with an unbent hanger.

Q&A
- Will this fit my stock exhaust on my 2018 f250 power stroke?
- Not sure what you would use it for on the stock exhaust. There is no muffler in the system, a small resonator right after the axle but that is it. -Sands
- Is the pipe aluminized or stainless steel
- This guys is aluminized. -AW.
