Straight Pipe

About a month ago i pulled apart the exhaust coupler right before the muffler and ran for a few days like that. It was way louder than i anticipated so i got a straight through style muffler with dimples on the inside. It got it pretty dang quiet and now i am wondering how it would sound if i took the muffler back out, installed a 3.5" pipe in its place and let it exit out of the rear instead of under the cab like before?

I have heard some audio clips but its hard to tell just how loud it really is.

thoughts?

hey i have a 1995 stroker with 304k mi. on it with the strait exhaust muffler delete exiting before the back tire. it sound so good and noticed my truck runs cooler.

straight pipe exhaust will be louder than stock but not as loud as just taking your muffler off. I have a staight pipe exiting in front of my rear tire and it's loud but not to loud when I'm just driving normally.

sounds good to me. I'll get it cut out and welded up this week.

thanks!

i have 4" dp with 5" striaght our behind the rear tire, and it is only loud when i get on it. other than that it has a very pleasing tone.
