Removed the Muffler
One LONG assembly that starts a couple feet ahead of the muffler and tough getting it out in one piece. Did so in case I want to eventually put it back or sell it. I had it replaced with just 3" pipe and it is louder but NOT as loud as I expected. A GMC 350 I did this to was MUCH louder and had a nice rumble sound. This V-10 w/o muffler does NOT have a pleasant sound. It needs glasspacks or something........ Almost sounds like a big riceburner and you know I hate that.........

If I rev it in neutral, it gives a crackling/popping noise with zero throatiness or rumble. WEIRD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! boxcar, Did performance change noticeably at all? My ponies are still grazing the open range somewhere. The weight reduction of removing that waterheater-sized muffler makes up for the heavy rear tires I added.

You might call yourself a posting guru and you might know what the above post is supposed to represent, but it makes no sense to the thread's initiator. Do you have related experience with a V-10 minus the muffler?

Take no offence, nothing directed at you,just a little inside humor. It just this subject has been beat to death.But anyway I have done just about everything you can do to the stock exhaust.Removing the muffler was the first thing, and it did sound horrible.Removed stock tailpipe and came off the convertor and exited out in front of the pass side wheel.sounded like doo doo also.removed the cat and ran a 40 series flowmaster, sounded like dog exrement also.Check my gallery and see what I ended up with, it is the ONLY way to get a deep sound out of the V10,single exhaust aint gonna get it! I sure did not mean to offend you,sorry if I did.

I poked fun first, with the "I hear an echo" because this was just covered last week by someone else...
Sorry, we're a funny lot here...

I am not offended in any way. I just had no idea what you were doing. I looked at the gallery and cannot see anything related except headers. Who makes them and what is after them? Did you run both dual outlets out the right side rear? What is required if you do away with the cats? O2 sensors taken off have caused me grief in the past. thnx much and yes, I wish I had seen earlier related posts.

Yeah I kinda have my gallery's mixed.My first gallery labeled exhaust/throttle body is the dual set-up i have.My headers I bought off of Ebay for 309.00. Hard to install but worth it.The 02 sensors are before the 1 cat so removing anything after the sensors does nothing to them.The two pcs of exhaust pipe with the 02 sensors in them are the only stock pcs I have left.Check out each pic and you can see what I did. 2 Magnaflow's turned on their side and then right out the side.
