Exhaust Pipe Question
I have a 1999 F250 SD Gas (v8) and i have a catalytic converter, with no muffler. Menieke installed the straight pipe so it only replaces where the muffler would be (so the whole system is still stock). i was wondering if there were any companies out there or anything that offer a muffler back, or axle back dual kit for my truck. I really want duals but i dont wanna spend the money for mufflers because i dont want them. Please Help!

Most good muffler shops can make you a great dual exhaust system with or without mufflers, just ask around your area who does good custom work, I had a dual setup put on a linclon LT for $250.00 with a flow master SIDO and stainless tips, they just took it from the stock muffler position and brought it back.

hey thanks guys i appreciate the help! i think what im gonna do is have someone like meineke, or carrolls (a local shop) and have them do a y-pipe out of the cat. does that sound like an o-k idea? i was thinking it would work out ok if they put a y-pipe in where the SIDO muffler would be

It will be really loud and drone at upper rpm inside! I sure would try it with a high flow SIDO muffler first you will not notice any difference in performance, just you're sanity....just saying!

Yes, get mufflers. I put straight pipes on my 09 F250 5.4L and loved the rumble around town, but towing heavy loads climbing any significant grades it sounded like a damn rocket ship. I just recently put on high flow cats and a muffler and its still got a nice rumble to it but when it gets in the upper gears towing its nowhere nearly as loud. I have read you lose torque/back pressure by running straight pipes. Not sure how much you are losing but I can tell you I noticed an appreciable difference towing my 5th wheel (especially up steep hills) with the muffler high flow cats added on there.
