I don't support waking up the whole neighborhood by any means.
That sort of behavior is just plain disrespectful and the source of a lot of needless regulation.However, I have witnessed two different diesel pickups benefit from a removal of the muffler. One was a SD and the other was a Cummins. I'm quite sure the SD averaged a full mpg difference and the Cummins rang in at 1.5 average. Just to mention, out of fairness, both were doing commercial duty and no programmers or other mods.
For my truck, though, it would just get a 'flow through' type muffler or an upgraded exhaust system. Same improvements and less noise in the cab and less chance of ticking off the neighbors. jmho.

I'm not a fan of straight piped trucks either. I can hear my turbo spool up with a muffler. Thats enough for me to be happy.
I often come home late at night and I try to be very light on the pedal when coming home because my truck is LOUD and I try not to wake people up.
My neighbor had something done to his 03 6.0 a few weeks ago and now its really loud. The last week or so his son has been taking it to work, leaving at 5 am and it wakes me up every morning because he floors it up our hill.

As an annoyed, fed up, way too frequently woken up at 5:00 am neighbor type...
If you want to run a straight exhaust, PLEASE use a super short pipe with a turn up tip exiting INSIDE your cab.
You're the only one impressed by the obnoxious racket, so do this and really be impressed. Sparing us is just a secondary benefit.

Finaly left him a note not to stomp on it when rounding the corner...
