Straight piped it today!!

One of my friends from church has a early '80s Chevy pickup with a Banks turbo-ed 6.2L in it. He recently straightpiped it, and I think it was a massive improvement in the sound. It sounds like a V8 should, IMO.

 

i wonder how it would sound to take the muffler off and leave the cat on untill i have the money to get a full 5" exhaust. im just worried because i want to run a programmer but i dont want the exhaust to get to hot.
what do you guys think? sorry to kinda jack the thred!

It will only make your EGTs lower. Do itwaytogo

 

Oh yeah...Go to the User CP and update your signature so we know what you drive. That will help to correctly answer any of your questions

 

alright i edited it, if it wont be to loud ill do it, im just scared to death of the resonation in the cab, my titan was really bad and i dont want to deal with that again.

Speaking directly from experience, don't do it.
I straight piped my 05 for about 2 months and got really tired of it. We took several colorado to california trips and it is REALLY loud. I bought a really nice bi-directional muffler from T&J diesel performace on e-bay. http://stores.ebay.com/T-J-Diesel-Performance and am really happy with it. I see they have one right now for $15 plus shipping, I paid $45 for it and that was still a killer deal. I like the fact that it is bi-directional, I have it the louder un-louvered way and it sounds good, no resination.
I regularly pull a 16K hay trailer and sounds really good under load and yet keeps my EGT's down.

 

thanks for letting me know about that. hopefully it will still be there friday when i get payed. i really appreciate the tip. its still 45 with shipping but either way its still a bargain at twice the price.
