    Id like to stay legal and keep all my aftertreatment parts but is there anyway I can modify them to improve the sound of the exhaust? I have an X15 and its so muted the engine brake makes no noise at all. I read a comment somewhere that someone increased the diameter of the SCR or whatever runs after the DPF and before the exhaust pipes and that improved the sound along with some wider stacks but im wondering if thats possible or likely to even help. Thanks

    Grass burner exhaust is just as quiet so I suspect nothing you can do legally.

    Do them urea snort'n rigs even have mufflers anymore?
    Or is all that after treatment junk enough to satisfy noise ordinance?

    If you got mufflers toss em'. Might help some..

    I always liked pulling driveshafts on roll overs. Much simpler standing up.

    The emissions system is the muffler. There's 3 (sometimes 4) catalysts that the exhaust has to flow through.

    Really nothing you can do for the exhaust sound without doing some stuff that they don't like discussing here.
