Straight pipe vs muffler

[mxjunkie123]

im going to putting an exhaust system on my truck soon and im wondering which would be better a straight pipe or a mbrp exhaust system

How about a compromise, MBRP 4" Turbo Back Straight Pipe.

How much money you wanna spend? Do you care how loud it is? Do you use the truck for lots of long trips??

I have 5" with muffler and no cat. I like it but wish it was a little louder. If I had it to do over again I would do 5" straight pipe. Also 3.5" Down Pipe MAX. My 4" downpipe causes a rattle in my dash at certain RPM.

i only got a couple hundred bucks it does matter to much about noise i was thinking about a 4in down pipe and either have it run downbefore the rear right tire does anyone disapprove of this setup?

I have a 4" down-pipe with 4" to behind the rear tire with a 4" glasspack installed backwords. It is a silverline system. It is quiet. I would buy a 5" system if I were to do it again.

I may be wrong, but I think it would be better to get behind the tire, and farther away from it. My brothers stock exhaust on his 95 put out enough heat to blue the chrome bumper after it got "misaligned" a little. That much heat might cause a prolblem with the ruber while your going down the high way.

I have a 4in down with a 5in out the back had to put a muffler on for inspection just put it on backwards sounds great I found mine on ebay for short money just search it out I think I paid $300 been on for 2-years still looks new

whast if i just run it from the down pipe and just out a couple of feet and angle it so the exhaust gas will shoot out something like this guy
