No Muffler
Hello again everyone...I have for some reason considered the possibility of cutting the stock muffler off my 96 1500 (360ci).
My few questions: would this take any kind of long-term toll on the motor? I would leave the cat on, just get rid of the muffler.
And the last one: would this produce a pretty decent sound? Most of what I've heard sounded pretty good, and a lot of these videos were Rams with the 318.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder....
if you're about 16-21, you'll probably think it sounds good.
at 55, i'd hate it.. but- we used to run straight headers and thought it was great. we could hear each others cars for miles away.
in general, a straight pipe or straight header will sound better than a hollow can, or gutted cat, or a muffler with a hole in it.

start by sawing it off with a saws-all and making a clean cut. save your muffler and pipes so that if you decide to reinstall it, all you have to do is reclamp or reweld the pipe back together. that way none of this costs you any serious money.
do you have inspection or emissions testing that you have to pass?
if not, just leave it chopped off.
be aware that putting on a turn down will create a big dust cloud if you drive dirt roads.

Apparently Ohio DOES have emissions testing, but only in 7 counties (none of which are even close to the county I live in). So does this mean I can remove the muffler+any pipe after it and leave it be? I'll probably throw a cheap turn down on the pipe, no dirt roads I drive on a regular basis.
