what if
On my 89' f250 460 I have this catylitic converter thats about 28" long,
What would be the pro's and con's if i were to remove the muffler and
run a straight 3" pipe out the back? would my large cat act like a
muffler and still be somewhat quiet, or would it be just to darn loud.

From what I've seen, these trucks' mufflers don't do the quieting. The cats do. If you can get away with it, chop off the cat converter. You'll gain more performance and it'll be a little louder. The muffler will still be quieting it down a little.
