Exhaust Question
I have a 99 F250Sd with the V10. The stock exhaust lacks the note I enjoy from a larger size engine so here's my question. If I take my truck and have the stock exhaust system cut off and have straight pipes welded in their place (true duals) with no cats or anything else but glass packs and echo chambers, would it possibly harm my engine? I know I have to have a specific amount of back pressure so I'm looking for all the info I can get before I go to cut into it.

I had a buddy that tried it on a 2v v10 years ago. Guess what? It sounded like crap. V10s are tough that way because no matter what you do, they won't sound like a V8. The odd cylinder on both sides just doesn't lend itself to a mean sounding exhaust.
Any V10 guys have some sound clips they would want to share?

Computercowboy (or something like that) here on FTE has duals on his excursion. Not sure if he ever posted a video. Search him out.

Sound all has to do with the pipe, size, chambers, muffler, resonators, X/H pipes, etc. used.
I can make a V8 sound like a weed eater or a NHRA funny car (well maybe not those extremes) but I can make the same motor sound completely different over and over again.
