 Topic: Muffler for a 7060
Posted: 17 Oct 2017 at 8:54pm |

So what would you guys say is the quietest muffler to put on a 7060. When I bought it a few years ago it had a straight pipe on it and I can't hear myself think and am ready to get rid of it.

just a muffler....hold on to your billfold! the turbo takes out most of the noise, I have a straight pipe about 2 ft tall on my 7010 and curved away from the cab, it's not loud at all.

I went through this with my 185. The Stanley muffler was too loud. My local muffler shop fixed up a very nice replacement for thirty bucks. Works great and looks as good as original or better. From what I have heard, you don't want to be too restrictive with a diesel, so use your own judgment there.

Got to second the cab kit thing. New pads,seals,grommits anything that blocks out air blocks out sound.
