hellllpppppp!
i think my truck has a rough idle....if it does what does this mean and is it bad. I recently cut the exhaust right befor the muffler, im waiting to finish it to be a full strait pipe. But could that have something to do with it

Does it idle rough, or does it just sound like a miss?
Since I straight piped mine, it sounds like its chugging at idle, it's not missing. But it almost sounds that way.
I read somewhere on here that straight exhaust will give your truck the "miss at idle" sound
Just a thought...

I agree that since I straight-piped my truck it idles a little rough. I am glad to see I'm not the only one, but I am considering a Walker BTM in hope that it will smooth it out. I recently did the FRx and HPx and could tell a difference in the sound of the motor, but with the straight-pipe I still feel this so-call "miss."

My dually with the straight pipe does the same thing. Sounds like a miss when your back near the exhaust but it runs great has made that sound since the first day I straight piped it. If someone wanted to add a muffler back in I have a 4" that was used for 2 days before I got the straight pipe finished.

That is normal and it is amplified by the no muffler and the pipe being so short and the sound "bouncing" under the truck.

Thats a great offer racincowboy!
I think I may just hack the muffler off mine and let it stay right there. Or bring it out to the side. Not sure with what I wanna do yet.
