yuo can hardly hear the exaust after removing the muffler,,nor will you neighbors hear it. the turbo acts as a very effective muffler. you will gain a ew horse power butt you wont really feel it. dont expeect it to be noisey at all. at idle the exaust sound like a little wind sound ,,,at about 2500 floored it will make a little bllaatt,,,thats alll.

Do you come to Fairbanks? I will let you drive mine. Hell I'll hook up the sled trailer and you can see for yourself.

oh I just asked you on the other thread. I'm down in anchorage, don't make it up there hardly ever. Been there three times in three years. Are there any video clips or sounds clips on this board of a straight piped truck?

well I guess I can cut it out and if it is too much, just get a less restrictive muffler put in. What do most guys put in if they go that route. I can't justify a $600 exhaust system

Just last tuesday I upgraded my exhaust to 4" Dimond eye turbo back (the cat ran off and I can't find it anywere). sounds much better now, and seams to pick up faster. Don't have gauges so I have know idea about numbers.
