Hi i took my muffler of to tonight because i want to change it. I am just wondering if i can run the truck without the muffler or the pipe after. Not long just 10 min to work and back.

 

Well, I tried the same thing and I discovered 2 things. I felt a loss of power, maybe there wasn't but it felt like. 2nd, the local cops here did not like the sound because I got a noise violation ticket on the second day of no muffler. So, I guess if you don't mind losing some power and getting multiple tickets from johnny law, go for it.

 

You'll definitely lose torque...
And in my area, you'll lose about $180 for blatant noise violation.
But she'll sound SWEET under full throttle...

 

Man i am so sick of cops they are so corupt. What about those bikers without exhaust? when they pass u u almost go death why can they do it? I don't want an answer i just think cops are so bitchy.

 

Because most cops think loud pipes save lives.... what is your excuse for being loud?

 

hehe, once i get my dynomax muffler in the mail im gunna take my truck for a drive without exhaust. Its gotta sound sooo sweet with nothing holding that hemi back but the cats.

 

motorcyclists do get noise violations tickets my pawpaw got several on motorcycles and in cars.

 

Someone has to do a recording of how it sounds, I would love to hear that!

 

i have an 06 1500. they have 3 mufflers on them stock. i left the pre-silencer on, but took off the huge muffler, and the aft-silencer. sounds pretty damn mean, and not too loud at cruising. drivin past plenty of cops, they dont even look. the only problem is that the mds is real noticeable since the exhaust is comin out about where the bed starts. but u get used to it. kinda sounds like a boat. id say try it if u want ur truck to be loud.

 

did you remove the exhaust before or after the cat? if it was before (after headers) then you'll throw codes out the wazoo.
