I had mine like that for about 4 years, liked it but eventually put a glass pack on to mellow it out when towing.

3" exhaust pipe.

3"

It was too much drone in the cab for me. If it was a pick-up it would be tolerable but it just resonated through the cab of the SUV too much especially when towing and I just put the stock muffler back on.

Keep at least a glasspack on it, trust us. It will NEVER have the sound of a V-8. If you get the Y-pipe it will sound better though!

Here it is with a 27" glasspack. It's about perfect to me.

I'm not worried about drone when towing. How much length pipe do I need just to replace muffler

ill try and get a good video for you tomorrow, but here's one i took a while back. been wanting to take a good one for a while, just haven't gotten around to it as i don't drive it much.

mine has no cat or muffler. eventually i think i am going to put a muffler back on it, i like it at idle, but WOT it's way too raspy.

it's LOUD....i mean loud....very....very.....loud.

agreed, i really want to put a nice muffler on it to make the tone sound nice again, and ill leave the cat off. i had it like that and i liked it like that the best, i took the muffler off to see how a true straight pipe would sound, and it's way too raspy when driving.

eventually i want an aftermarket Y pipe also, i've only read good things about them, so i'm curious to see how it changes the sound.
