Default My "new" exhaust

So i pulled the trigger and decided to take my muffler off lol, just put some pipe in so it exits behind the cab and i can pass inspection.
it isn't as loud as i thought it would be, just as loud as it was before just a different tone to it, if i wanna get it loud ill prolly have a spintech cat put in, but im content for now.

P.S. gotta love that first start up smoke lol, its gone happens every time i put new pipe on, prolly the oil burning off it or something

Sounds good, but curious as to why you wanted the muffler off? Just looking for a new sound?

Eh, I never liked the no muffler sound, but it's your truck. I think a nice muffler sounds a lot better even if it's a little quiter.

You should weld those pieces together also. You have a lot of clamps in there.
