"Good" is a very personal thing. For me, I have a family, and young grandkids that ride in the truck (more often than I do.......), so, I wouldn't do it myself. You might like it though.

 

i think you will like it....... i have ran just this before and ended up putting a muffler on cuz it was loud....sounded good tho, very nice and deep.....what all does your exhasut consist of right now?

 

My exhaust is dumped right behind the rear axle and I like the way it sounds. The only bad part is that the previous owner and did the exhaust, had it dumped right on the spare tire...moron. Here's a clip from back when I used combustion chamber cleaner but you get a nice idea of how it sounds.

 

you said yours was dumped behind the rear axle. what kind of muffler/ cat was used and what size pipe did it have?

 

I want a sound clip when you do this...

 

its all stock except for the custom catback with the super 44"s and imma doing it when i wake up in the morning. Thinking about taking the catback off too

 

It's how I've been running mine and I like the way it sounds but it is a bit loud. At first I was running with the stock cat that was duala 2" in and single 2.5" out. I noticed what seemed to me to be a big boost in both low rpm and high rpm performance when switching to the 3" i/o magnaflow cat without a muffler and using a y pipe before the cat. I just have mine exiting in front of the rear tire with no muffler and it runs better than ever. Not sure why people say you'll lose low end by remving the muffler because that isn't my experience. Of course I didn't get before and after dynos but I did actually try it both ways. The muffler on or off made no noticeable diffeence in power that I could tell but I was running one of those straight through racing type mufflers.

 

Yeah i love loud. i had a 2000 mustang gt with no cats and super 40s and that was loud. But one question before i do this. DOES IT HAVE A TONE OR JUST LOUDNESS?

 

i have my exhaust end about a foot past the cat, and i love the sound of it. Ive never been pulled over for it.never had a problem with it....has a nice crackle when at higher rpms, but a good sounding crackle. nice deep tone.

 

Well, i did it. its got that straight pipe knockin sound or whatever its called (rapping maybe?) well anyway i like it. its not as loud as my mustang was but its close enough lol. if anybody wants a video i'll try to get one. i'm thinking of running it out the side. i took my catback off and it looks nice and clean. Oh and funny story, first person i see, a sheriff right behind me, good or bad omen he didn't do anything
