i wanna cut my stock muffler out and put some strait pipe in place of it so it still dumps in the back but what would strait pipes with the cats sound like? im kinda cheep but i at least wanna hear it over the tires

 

just buy a 20 dollar thrush glasspack will sound better

edit: where in NH are you? im in rochester....

 

stock cat?
I ran a high flow cat with no muffler (It dumped right after the cat, not out the back) for a few months. Very loud; everyone within a 1 mile radius will be staring in your direction, and you can't have a conversation in the truck with the windows down.

I like having a muffler a lot better.

 

redneck ram im from new boston i never even thought of a glasspack **** my buddys got one layin around his house sweet im gunna do that now

 

Your truck isn't a race car and it shouldn't be treated like one either. If you want loud at least get a glasspack. It will still let it roar, but it will stop it from popping.

 

Well a glasspack style muffler didn't stop my truck from popping but it sure pops a whole lot quieter now with it on there.

 

Well I didn't mean completely stop the popping. Mine only pops on startup, but it sounds mean at WOT.

 

Mine has disemboweled feline, with a 24" Thrush glasspack in place of the stock muffler.

I think it sounds great. My mom thinks so, too. My wife, on the other hand, hates it.

 

5.2L with stock cat and straight piped

The same 5.2L with a glass pack and a Magnaflow cat

I had a glass pack on each pipe (dual pipes split off after the cat) but I didn't get a video of that before going to just one glass pack and a Magnaflow cat.

 

i ended up with a new 25'' glasspack sounds pretty deep not very loud but louder then before i can still smell it burnin and it keeps gettin louder glad i didnt do the strait pipe thanks guys
