Personally, I think any exhaust whether it be muffled or straight piped would have to be pretty darn loud to drown put the loudness from having the 6637 anyway,just my .02 worth. I actually have a 4" Turbo back Magnaflow with the muffler delete pipe and its not that loud inside,I get more drone(so to speak)from the intake(6637).

Exactly. With the WW, the turbo whistle is WAY louder in the cab than the exhaust. With the radio on at a normal level, I can't even hear the exhaust. If I'm towing, especially up a long steady grade, the WW is almost TOO loud, almost.

Good point about the WW Kevin,I have the WW/ATS Housing set up with the 6637 intake and in most cases I cant hear my exhaust at all.

Why do you have the WW *and* the ATS? I have the stock wheel in my ATS, and get 30psi out of it (van turbo). Zero surge, and enough whistle, but not obnoxious.

So I was wondering why its twisting in there? Does that help with flow?

Yeah that is actaully the same exhaust i have despite my sig. I changed my exhaust a couple months ago. The one i had on there was a piece of garbage and my buddy had a wrecked f-350 at his shop with the 4 in. Magnaflow on it so he gave is to me so i swapped that on my truck. Just never changed my sig. See i would love to do just the straight pipe, especially since you say it sounds good with that exhaust, just the inspection is what's killing me!
