Exhaust

[Action]

OK,
I have more ?'s-------LOL-----------
I have an 05 f450 that I bought new. I has about 100000 miles on it. I am wanting to try a cat delete pipe, My muffler is about shot so am thinking about just deleting it also. If I like it I will upgrade the exhaust later. Do you think there will be any improvement with stock exhaust -cat and muffler? will it be to loud?
Thanks Jack

well if you delete the kitty and muffler it should free up the flow a bit and lower your egts but i dont know if it will give you any noticable performance gains. Your tubo will probably spool a bit quicker. I dont know what you consider too loud but my 4" turboback straight pipe drones at 1500, quiet between 1600 and 2100 but more that 2100 it gets pretty rowdy.

Thanks,
I am thinking of idle and low rpm as I leave for work at odd hrs and kind of wanted to be kind to the neighbors. I also tow 95% of the time.@ highway speed I am at about 2000.
Thanks Jack

yeah i have to be kind when i leave the house too, I cruise at 200rpm and 70 mph and I dont hear it over the radio at half volume, Outside you hear more turbo than rumble. But I have to admit I love the way it sounds.
