exhaust
I was looking for more little more power cheap. I had a 3in exhaust(it had stock exhaust) put on my 92 F250 7.3L Non tubo. When the muffler shop gave me an estimate I asked him if that incloded the muffler, he looked at me funny, and said I wasn't going to put a muffler on it . So I ad him do the work with the muffler. I kinda like the mean sound of the truck but would I have gottin much more power without the muffler and what would it of sounded like and would it of be legal around town. I know from my knowledge of gas engines you not going to getaway without a muffler on the streets. I've seen some cummins diesels that don't sound like the have muffllers but I could be wrong. Would it be worth it to go and have the muffler cut out?

What kind of muffler did you install?
Less restriction means more sound, it also means more power.
When my truck was NA I ran a see through 3" muffler, my kid could stick his hand and arm right through it.
Now I have a turbo and no muffler.
I will tell you that with my stacks, I did have to roll the windows up to be able to hear my cell phone while driving.
But you are not supposed to be talking on the cell phone while driving anyway.
No problem.
With the turbo, the truck is quieter with no muffler than it was with a muffler when it was NA.

even with the windows rolled up, the only way i can hear my phone is with the engine shut off. and the only music you hear in the rattletrap is the sweet sound of an oilburner screaming at high rpm comming out of the pipes.
and that my friends, is music to my ears.
