Go to youtube and search for Ford V10, there are some videos of stock exhaust with no muffler. That's how I have mine set up, it doesn't sound like a V8, but it isn't too bad. Your's might sound different since it's a 2V.

I just got rid of a 38' toy hauler and am glad I did, 5.5mpg was the best I ever got with it.

No O2 after the cat means no CEL or codes. Ditch the cat and straight pipe it and you will probably lose low end and possibly even mid range power. Plus have an annoying sounding truck to boot. Its your truck but I don't see an upside.

Nope. You need torque in the lower ranges to get the load moving.
