exhaust
i got a 95 f-150, 4.9L straight 6... i know i dont got a big dissel engine and it be gay to put straight pipes on it but regaurdless i would still get better horse power from the flow, but i was wonder if it be just fine to cut the whole damn pipes off and run it straight to the ground, and another question would it help me any to run my pcv value straight to the ground too
p.s. yea i know taken of the cad. converter is bad for the ozone, but so is smoking crack, hairspray, spraypaint, homicidly fires and everything else in this world so i not to worried about that so just want to know... and yes some time i like taking my truck mudding but i take it in the kiddie section it sinks to easy

Welcome to FTE
lots of trucks here are running straight pipes........not gay at all.....dumping directly under your truck just means you'll smell the exhaust a lot.......might think about running back further. I wouldn't want to sit in your cab at idle a long time with them dumped like that........might be dead.........
Why do you need to run the PCV to the ground? I see no benefit in that at all. Definitely not a HP thing.
My cats are gone....were when I got it.......and true duals through a pair of burnt out glass packs. Guess I messing up the ozone too.
Good Luck
Bob

You can run the exhaust there but it's really loud inside the cab. Thats how I had mine and between the fumes and the noise I got a headache every time I drove it. Now I piped it back a couple feet past the cab but it still drones kind of bad. It sounds cool outside though

Yes the screwdriver test works fine, but make sure to turn the key to the ON position if you want the truck to actually start, you need to activate the fuel pump.
As for the exhaust, I'm not sure I really understand your question... You're just asking for a second opinion on whether you should straight pipe it? I think I might sound kind of bad on the 4.9L, but I've never heard it so I can't talk. I'd think you'd get a much better sound and no loss in performance if you went with a performance muffler or some glasspacks.

Well you're never going to get a sound from a diesel, that just ain't possibly on a gasser...
You could most likely get her loud very easily, but it will be at the cost of it sounding GOOD. The typical rule of thumb is that the louder you go, the more raspy and cackly it gets; the deeper, the throatier/cleaner.
