Muffler removal...How loud then?????
I just installed the 6637 air filter and now I want to remove the stock muffler from my 02 PSD. My question is how much louder will the truck be then. Some say only slightly louder, and others say quite a bit while towing. I don't really mind it being kouder and can tolerate noise from the engine, however, having to listen to my wife complain the entire time on a camping trip towing the 32' 5th wheel camper is not noise that I can tolerate. Anybody without a muffler care to tell me what to expect?

I don't think of my truck being so loud until someone else drives it away while I am standing behind it.
Much louder to the guy in the car following you on the highway than to you and your wife in the cab.
like the guys said if the windows are rolled up she wont even notice.

Just recently lost mine. I drive with my windows down OFTEN and notice a huge difference, but not a bad one. I like it personally but wouldn't agree with those that say it isn't noticeable....... maybe with the windows up and the radio, or the wife cackling in the background!

The more air you can get out, the better. We like to advise having some kind of better intake and exhaust to go with the DP-TUNER.

I have a 99 PSD and I run a 4" straight pipe exhaust. You wont really notice it inside the cab with the windows up. But when I pull the mountains with my 5 er in tow it can get pretty noisy which I just
