gutting the muffler???
I have a 1990 f250 7.3 diesel and i was wondering if i get a cheap muffler and then cut it open and gut it how would it sound? Also would i get better fuel mileage? i dont want it too loud but loud enought to hear me coming a lil ways off. I live in North Carolina and you are required to run a muffler (For safety/emissions) so taking the muffler off wont be an option. Thanks for all of your openions.

Sounds like someone is trying to loose some friendly neighbors. My brother hollowed out his mufflers on his Chevy K-5 Blazer with a 350 and that thing was loud. I would drive it to the store and I got so many dirty looks but that was part of the fun.
