Talking Deleting Muffler

How do you guys think the exhaust would sound on a 6.0 psd with just keeping the stock pipe and deleting the muffler (cat.)? Has anybody tried this? Thanks!

I think it would sound sweet There are videos on YouTube you could probably check out. Just search something like Powerstroke diesel and you should find something you'll enjoy. I have neither a cat or muffler, 4" turbo back to the "noisemakers" in the bed and I LOVE the way it sounds. Be prepared for a loss in fuel economy!

Barely noticed a difference in the sound; but it does have a lower rumble to it which sounds nice...had a muffler shop cut the muffler out for 30 bucks...

I bought the MBRP system and have the Cat delete pipe and the muffler delete pipe with the Kewl Duel exhaust. Sounds great at wide open throttle. But cruising in the highway I can't tell a difference.

i have removed the muffler on my turboed psd diesel as soon as i got them. they make very ittle noise. a liile bark at 2500 rpm when floored.dont expect any real "sound". the people behind you will hear it but you wont. the turbo is a very efective muffler. at idle it makes a sound like air excapingand no noise at all if you step on the throttle . nothing like a gas engine.

sounds good, I'm just going to take the cat back off for now and see how she sounds. I guess that will work for a few weeks to see if there is a gas mileage/sound/power difference.
