IMHO--there is NOTHING as sweet as the sound of a 6.0 running WOT straight piped.......except maybe a top fuel dragster. I've been straight piped for a while with no ill effects. Go for it--you won't regret anything except NOT doing it.

"Sounding great" is a relative term 
ya know that ole' saying one man's trash is another man's treasure
My "sensitive" ears couldn't deal with the drone on long trips that would resonate in the large "cab" we have

The only thing bad about the muffler and cat delete is that you haven't done it yet! Open her up and let her scream!!!

I am definately doing it now, to many people twisted my rubber arm.
As for removing the muffler and cat with stock pipes, If you put a 3.5" to 5" tip, wouldnt that magnify the sound to make it sound bigger and better?
personally, never heard any straight piped 6.0 before to compare with.

O, I forgot this, half a grand sounds like an unbelieveable deal to me, My system is a turbo back 4" single with chrome tip from pro-flo. I paid roughly $1000 for it here in Canada. All our stuff costs more, its ridiculous. Flashpaq was $526.00. Just a little more useless info.

I have Heard a 4", no tip, and I think a 5" tip like mine has made a deeper, throatier sound. I want to go with RBP's stainless 4" to 6" tip because I think it will be even louder and throatier yet
