taking a survey on here.. what would you do or what have you done, pros and cons of doing it.

Just running straight exhaust no cat or muffler?
Straight exhaust with a muffler of some sort (what kind)?
Leaving it stock?
Cat with not muffler?

Have stock cat and muffler on now but would like it to sound meaner..

 

I have a 4 inch pipe all the way back from the turbo, no muffler or cat. Sounds like a jet.

 

4" MBRP turbo back, no cat/muffler. Love it!

 

Straight piped for 10 years. Wouldn't have it any other way.

 

4" down to 5" pipe to a Donaldson muffler.

It's pretty quiet. The straight pipe was just too loud for me, but it did sound good.

Straight pipe, only way.

 

I run striaght pipe on my 7.3,no muffler or kitty and is loud as heck and my son is pushing real hard to do same for my 6.0. Good timing on this thread

 

I've been on the fence on this one as well. I have everything sitting at work to do a 4" to 5" straight. Debating leaving the cat in at first. I just an not sure about the sound. My other hang up is that my truck is my tow rig for the TT. We visit multiple states and plans to expand our travels all over the US. I wild Hate to get ticketed or worse across state lines.

 

great thanks guys for the input. Looks like straight pipes are in my near future. I own a mazda and a chevy and I am on their forums at time but this forum is by far the best, always someone there to help out. Keep up the good work...

 

I straight piped mine after MisterCMK talked me into it. I love the sound!

It turns heads, makes me happy, and I get alot of compliments

 

Straight piped sounds like this

Magnaflow sounds like this

 

That guy is a bad influence!

 

5" straight pipe here...if you have an 03 the whistle is kind of obnoxious

 

This is what I have, but will need to install a muffler before next year. Texas no longer recognizes a turbocharger as a muffling device. The most liberal sticker place in the county already told me it won't pass. It's extremely noticeable when it's idling and does a vane sweep. When people ask me WTF I say it's the Jake Brake resetting.

 

Use some band clamps and then the muffler comes out quickly
