Question No muffler?

How many of you have run your 5.4 with no muffler, just the cats? What's it sound like? Thought I'd read where it's not bad with the cats still on. Performance/mileage change?

straight pipes

I cut my 40 series flowmaster off a few weeks ago. I had a y pipe installed instead, I love the sound, I have not noticed any milege diffrence or performance change from the flowmaster but sounds much better than the flowmaster. ps I also have an airraid which might have something to do wih the sound.

So you installed the y-pipe for dual outlets? Side or out the back?
