i put in a straight through muffler from Walker(BTM) Sounds pretty good outside, lots of whistle, but the sound inside didn't change at all. From what I here straight piping it is pretty close to the same.

They sound better with a deeper note and a little more noisier in the cab.

I could never figure out why Ford put just a monster muffler on their Powerstrokes..It is definitely not needed.

Agreed...how about just a nice straight thru muffler for better EGT control!?!? Go figure.
